USC Dornsife Center for Advanced Genocide Research

In recognition of Indigenous Peoples' Day, the USC Center for Advanced Genocide Research shares quotes from the Center's past lectures by scholars researching mass violence and genocide against Indigenous peoples. Today we remember the enduring impacts of that violence until today and the resistance, agency, and survivance of Indigenous peoples.
