Suzan Shown Harjo Delivers the 9th Annual Jaszi Distinguished Lecture on Intellectual Property

9th Annual Peter A. Jaszi Distinguished Lecture on Intellectual Property From Sacred Places to Playing Fields — The Long Struggle for Dignity and Respect by Suzan Shown Harjo October 1, 2020 ABSTRACT A single bright thread runs through the half-century+ career of writer-curator-activist Suzan Shown Harjo. Insistence on the fundamental human right to dignity and respect has unified such causes as repatriating plundered Native American remains and sacred objects, protecting sacred places, building institutions to promote cultural understanding, and eliminating sports teams’ use of “Indian" names, symbols, and mascots. In its next phase, the struggle for dignity and respect includes advocacy for new laws and changes to existing ones that put Pueblos, Nations and Tribes in their proper place in law and policy, self-determining and in the position of deciding how to safeguard their own heritages, identities, histories, legacies and future.
