The seminar "Who Tells America's Story?" explores Indigenous approaches to North American literature and culture, thereby sharpening awareness of the colonial narratives that often dominate these fields. How do picture books, music, plays, essays, or novels convey Indigenous perspectives? How can these cultural products be used to learn and teach about the history, present, and future of the United States and Canada? Experts will discuss Indigenous media and explain how they can be dealt with on the occasion of the 250th anniversary of the U.S. declaration of idependence.
