SUMMARY:Exhibition:Being Mixed Race in a Mono-racially Organized World
DESCRIPTION:The exhibit \"Being Mixed Race in a Mono-racially Organized World: Interracial Identity in the U.S. and Around the World — What Research and Mixed Race People Tell Us\" is an exploration into the library's collections about the diversity of mixed race heritage. Through research\, narratives\, demographic data\, and a variety of visual and published materials\, explore multifaceted aspects of mixed race heritage with insights from many perspectives.\n\nThe 2020 U.S. Census illuminated a 276 percent increase in individuals who identify as \"two or more races\" since 2010. In recognition of the growing numbers of mixed race-identifying people at the University of Michigan\, throughout the country\, and across the globe\, we're excited to unveil this new exhibit — a unique exploration of changing demographics and intersectional identities.

The first quarter century of the self-determination era featured many great successes but mostly great frustrations often caused by federal reluctance to empower tribal nations. The second quarter century featured the rise of tribal political and economic power\, but many of the same frustrations\, this time more often caused by judicial decisions. As always\, Indigenous leaders look to both the past and the future in consequential decisions for their nations. This symposium brings together many of today's most influential Indigenous leaders to assess the last fifty years and imagine what the next quarter century brings. Panelists include Indigenous elected officials\, judges\, and lawyers at the federal\, state\, and Tribal levels.\n\nWashington Supreme Court Justice Raquel Montoya-Lewis\, a citizen of the Pueblo of Laguna\, will deliver a keynote address on Saturday.\n\nPanel 1\, “The Past and Future of Indigenous Politics\,”\nFriday\, February 21 - Palmer Commons Forum Hall 1:30 – 3:00 PM\,\nThis panel will discuss the past and future of Indigenous people in politics and their service in elected or appointed political offices in the US state or federal government.\nSpeakers are:\n Bryan Newland is Assistant Secretary of the Interior for Indian Affairs and a citizen of the Bay Mills Indian Community.\nJeff Irwin is an elected member of the Michigan Senate and citizen of the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians.\n\nPanel 2\, “Lawyering Tribal Self-Determination\,”\nFriday\, February 21 - Palmer Commons Forum Hall 3:15 – 4:45 PM\,\nThis panel will address the underrepresentation of Indigenous people in law. Fifty years ago\, few Indigenous people were lawyers\, and almost no tribe was represented by Indigenous lawyers or law firms. Although there are many more Indigenous lawyers\, they are still terribly underrepresented in the field. This panel of Indigenous lawyers will discuss their professional journeys and the profession's future\nSpeakers are:\nWenona T. Singel is an Associate Professor of Law at Michigan State Law School and a citizen of the Little Traverse Bay Band of Odawa Indians \nDoreen Nanibaa McPaul is In-house counsel for Tohono O’Odham Nation\, leader of the Tribal In-House Counsel Association\, and citizen of the Navajo Nation.\nMitchell Forbes is a Staff Attorney at the Native American Rights Fund and a citizen of the Native Village of Shishmaref\n\nPanel 3\, “Indigenous Judging in Tribal and State Courts\,”\nSaturday\, February 22 - Michigan Union Anderson ABCD 10:00 – 11:30 AM\nPanel 3 will discuss Indigenous presence on the court. In 1975\, few Indigenous people served as judges in federal\, state\, and tribal courts. Now\, many Indigenous judges serve tribal communities\, but only a few serve federal and state court systems. This panel will address the past and future of Indigenous judging.\nSpeakers are: \nGregory H. Bigler is a Tribal judge\, lawyer\, and citizen of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation\nAllie Greenleaf Maldonado is a Judge of the Michigan Court of Appeals and citizen of the Little Traverse Bay Band of Odawa Indians\n\nKeynote Address: \n\"Descendant Daughter\" by Justice Raquel Montoya-Lewis.\nSaturday\, February 22 - Michigan Union Pendleton Room 12:30 – 1:45 PM\nJustice Raquel Montoya-Lewis is a Justice of the Washington Supreme Court\, a citizen of the Pueblo of Isleta\, and a descendant of the Pueblo of Laguna.\n\nPanel 4\, “International Indigenous Leadership”\nSaturday\, February 22 - Michigan Union Pendleton Room 2:00 – 3:30 PM\nwith Kyle Powys Whyte and Kristen Carpenter\,\nThis panel examines Indigenous participation in international spheres.

This panel will address the future of international law principles regarding Indigenous peoples in the U.S.\nSpeakers are:\nKyle Powys Whyte is George Willis Pack Professor in the School for Environment and Sustainability and University Diversity and Social Transformation Professor at the University of Michigan.
