Indigenous California Women: VISIONING THE NEXT 500 YEARS
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA SANTA CRUZ, FEBRUARY 20-23, 1991
A gathering planned by and for land-based and urban Indian women whose
tribes and bands are indigenous to the region of California. The purpose
of the conference is to celebrate 500 years of survival, discuss common
concerns, and to envision the next 500 years. California Indian women are
planners, the workshop leaders and the speakers for all forums. The
perspectives and concerns expressed will be those of the women
indigenous to the region of California.
Several of the sessions will be open to the public, and anyone may
attend these open sessions. You need not to be Indian or a woman.
You must come willing to put California Indian women at the center
and place aside other perspectives, listening instead throughout
this time their voices. In this way California Indian Women will be
able to bring greater self-expression, insight, self-awareness and
creativity to their own conference.
Papers and presentation of proposals are due by 5PM on Monday,
December 2, 1991. Include name, address, and contact phone number.
