This workshop endeavors to bring together a select group of scholars from across the globe whose work focuses on Indigenous transnational experiences, broadly conceived. While we welcome new perspectives on political diplomacy and activism, Native North America, and the United Nations, we are especially interested in expanding the conversation to include Indigenous peoples the world over and other areas of inquiry, including but not limited to music, art, sports, performance, language, literature, religion, medicine, knowledge, technology, and business. Our goal in situating this workshop in a global Indigenous context—both in terms of the scholarship and the scholars producing it—is to arrive at a more expansive view of how Indigenous peoples have always and continue to extend or go beyond national boundaries. Our emphasis on transnational experiences—as opposed to the more limited notion of Indigenous internationalism—endeavors to open a new field of study with unlimited possibilities and transformational potential.
