Join us for the first Antiracism discussion of the school year on Monday, October 21. This discussion, titled “What’s Sovereignty Got To Do With It?” will be led by Heather Torres, Esq.

Heather will discuss what Tribal sovereignty is and what it has to do with antiracist work. Discussion will include information on the racialization of American Indian identity in the United States and its influence in society with a law and policy perspective. Understanding Tribal sovereignty is key to dismantling racist structures, and challenging racist attitudes toward American Indian and Alaska Native people.

Heather Torres (she/her) is a citizen of San Ildefonso Pueblo and a graduate of UCLA School of Law's Critical Race Studies program, where she focused her courses and research on Federal Indian law and the racialization of American Indian identity. She currently works at the Tribal Law and Policy Institute, providing training and technical assistance to Tribes across the country on matters of governance and community care. She serves on the board of Native community organizations in Southern California, including as a Trustee for an up-and-coming Tribal College.

This talk is part of the 2024-2025 Antiracism Speaker Series, hosted by the School of Education and funded by a Student Learning Fee Award. For more information, contact Catherine Lemmi at [email protected]
