Black Lives, Indigenous Lives:
From Mattering to Thriving
Black Lives, Indigenous Lives: From Mattering to
Thriving
FROM 4 TO 5:30 P.M.
What can we learn from Black and Indigenous history, activism, and contemporary
stewardship efforts in order to transform higher education, health, policing and other
Western institutions?
This dialogue will examine and discuss major points of cultural and historic community
convergence between Black and Indigenous Peoples with a focus on contemporary
movements such as Black Lives Matter and Idle No More and the dismantling of racist
statues, images and mascots. Andrew Jolivétte will explore what these movements mean
for enacting justice interventions and moving towards thrivance circuitry, kinship
building, self-determination, and abolition as transformational modes of joy production
and ceremonial stewardship.
Dr. Andrew Jolivétte (Atakapa-Ishak Nation of Louisiana
Tsikip/Opelousa/Heron Clan]) is professor and chair of the Ethnic Studies Department at
the University of California, San Diego as well as the inaugural founding Director of Native
American and Indigenous Studies at UCSD. A former professor and department chair of
American Indian Studies at San Francisco State University, he is the author or editor of
nine books in print or forthcoming including the Lammy Award nominated, "Indian Blood:
HIV and Colonial Trauma in San Francisco’s Two-Spirit Community." His scholarship
examines Native American, Indigenous, Creole, Black, Latinx, Queer, Mixed-Race, and
Comparative Critical Ethnic Studies. Jolivétte is the 2020-21 MultiRacial Network Scholar
in Residence for the American Personnel Association and the Series Editor of Black
Indigenous Futures and Speculations at Routledge. His current book project, "Thrivance
Circuitry: Queer Afro-Indigenous Futurity and Kinship," is under contract with the
University of Washington Press.
