About This Event
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Due to limited seating, registrations completed after 10:00 PM on December 13, 2024, will be limited to virtual attendance only.
Join American Indians in Texas at the Spanish Colonial Missions for a powerful and thought-provoking event that delves into the history of racism in San Antonio and examines how the missionization of Native American people in this region became a model for oppression and assimilation nationwide.
This event is part of the Smithsonian's Our Shared Future: Reckoning with Our Racial Past initiative, a collaborative effort among cultural organizations and museums to deepen the public’s understanding of San Antonio's racial legacy. Through open dialogue and shared learning, this initiative seeks to confront the deep roots of racial inequity and inspire justice and healing.
The panel discussion will address the lasting impact of missionization in South Texas, featuring both lived experiences and insights from historical and cultural experts. Participants will engage with unique, honest perspectives that shed light on these critical issues.
Attendees will also enjoy a meal provided by a regional Native American catering company, showcasing the rich culinary traditions of Indigenous communities.
This event welcomes everyone eager to learn, connect, and reflect on this region's shared history. No prior knowledge of the subject is required—just an open mind and a respectful approach to these important topics.
Seating is limited, so reserve your spot today to ensure you don’t miss this meaningful opportunity to reclaim heritage, build awareness, and honor Native voices, history, and continued presence.
