Re-EMERGENCE: Meagan Musseau and the Practice of Materializing a Future Rematriation. By Dr. Kendra Greendeer (Ho-Chunk and Ojibwe). Join our Native American Women’s class to hear guest speaker, Dr. Kendra Greendeer from Oklahoma State University, on rematriation.To reclaim Native lands and assert Indigenous femininity, contemporary Indigenous women artists are invoking Rematriation. This woman-led movement of restoration of pre-settler-colonial land ethics foregrounds the significance of the feminine within a process of return that allows for every aspect of Indigenous culture to be restored to pre-settler colonial practices. The land-based multimedia artist Meagan Musseau (L’nu from Elmastukwek, Ktaqmkuk territory) reincorporates pre-settler artistic practices with accessible materials to preserve cultural teachings for the future. This talk explores her work of Rematriation alongside that of other contemporary Native women artists whose art enacts Indigenous placemaking in ways that restructure and reexamine the spaces deemed settler-colonial. NAS Seminar Room-Copeland Hall 342. Thursday, April 25. 10:30 am – 11:45am. For more information, or for accommodations, email nas@ou.edu.
