Geek Speak is back!Please join us on Monday, Sept 15 with Dr. Liz Fayer for
The Special Meaning of Kinship: Grandmothers of the Lakota Community: In Honor of Jace DeCory
Historically, the Lakota concept of kinship has been misunderstood. For elders specifically, constraining their role as a grandparent within a Western framing diminishes the wealth of strengths and resources of intergenerational caring that occurs in Indigenous communities. The importance of this kinship concept will be explored along with the cross-cultural communication used to present this information and other cultural information about the Lakota People.
4:00 p.m. in Jonas Academic, Room 110. All Geek Speaks are free and open to the public.
