About the Program
Dr. Beatrice Medicine, professor emeritus of anthropology at California State University at Northridge, is the author of Native American Women: A Perspective and coeditor of The Hidden Half: Indian Women on the Plains. Join us as we celebrate Dr. Medicine's contribution to anthropology. Included in this retrospective contribution are Medicine's clear-eyed views of assimilation, bilingual education, and the adaptive strategies by which Native Americans have conserved and preserved their ancestral languages. The volume also includes Dr. Medicine's thoughtful assessments of sex roles in contemporary Native American societies, kinship and family structures, alcoholism and sobriety, the activism implicit in the religious ritual of the Lakota Sioux Sun Dance, and the ceremonial uses of Lakota star quilts.Artist
