6 p.m.: An Evening of Dance with Evangelina Macias and Daystar Rosalie Jones at Rapaporte Treasure Hall, Goldfarb Library

Evangelina Macias (Amskapi Pikuni, A'aninin), the Helaine B. Allen and Cynthia L. Berenson Postdoctoral Fellow in Indigenous Women, Genders, and Sexualities, presents her dance work, "Niiksokowaiks My Relatives." Grounded in Aamskapi Pikuni and Siksikaitsitapi ways of knowing, this dance work investigates complex mixed familial lineages, dispossession, embodied histories, and relationships to land and the more than human. The presentation features a dance by internationally recognized guest artist Daystar Rosalie Jones (Pembina Chippewa-Cree), artistic director of DAYSTAR: Contemporary Dance-Drama of Indian America, followed by a conversation with Macias and Jones.

Sponsored by the Department of Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies; the Women's Studies Research Center; Creativity, the Arts and Social Transformation, Peacebuilding and the Arts; and the Division of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
