ICNC Webinar Series 2017: Native Americans' Nonviolent Struggle for Rights and Justice

Presented by Sherri Mitchell and Tom Hastings. View more of our webinars at www.nonviolent-conflict.org/webinars Native Americans and First Nations peoples have distinct cultural methods of conflict management that vary from nation to nation, with specifically unique nonviolent strands apparent historically and presently. In our modern era, several Native Americans’ struggles have featured methods of nonviolent strategy to fight for rights oftentimes with surprising outcomes. They used nonviolent civil resistance to change dominant culture, laws and policies. While the struggle by the Standing Rock Sioux has elevated Native struggles in the public eye, much more has occurred during the long history of Native Americans’ mobilization for rights and justice. In this webinar talk we aim to highlight this often unacknowledged history of nonviolent resistance, and show how the study of innovations and traditional methods of nonviolent conflict management, as well as direct nonviolent actions practiced by many of the tribes of the Native American Nations and First Nations, can benefit scholarship and practice of civil resistance.
