I was wondering if anyone saw/picked up my Hiawatha Belt pin/button after the Afro-Asia Working Group yesterday. It fell off my backpack and I looked all over for it but couldn’t find it. It kind of looks like these:
Nya:wëh/Thank you!

on Graduate Fellowships in Critical Black Studies in the University of Minnesota’s American Studies PhD Program
on Hi everyone! The following opportunity was sent via a listserv I’m on, and I thought it might possibly interest some of you:
“The Ph.D. program in American Studies at the University of Minnesota along with its partners the Department of African American and African Studies and the Race, Indigeneity, Gender, and Sexuality Studies (RIGS) Initiative received six graduate fellowships through the Creating Inclusive Cohorts (CIC) Training Program in the area of Critical Black Studies. These fellowships provide a stipend of $25,000 plus tuition in the first year of graduate school followed by four additional years of funding. We encourage students interested in critical black studies to apply to the American Studies PhD program. The deadline for graduate admission is December 1st, 2019. For details about admission, go to:
https://cla.umn.edu/american-studies/graduate/how-apply
If you have questions, contact bran0487@umn.edu”
The University of Minnesota seems like a great school with a lot of opportunities when it comes to ethnic studies program (and they even have strong Ojibwe language courses, which is awesome), so I would definitely suggest looking into it if this is an area that interests you. Plus, Minneapolis/St. Paul are fun, even in the winter. Also, as an aside, I’ll most likely be working either in Minneapolis or up at Red Lake Nation in northern Minnesota after I graduate, so come join me!
“The Pagoda” Post
on I chose “Reflection,” from Mulan, for this line: “When will my reflection show who I am inside.” Lowe struggles deeply with this, feeling that his reflection cannot really reflect who he is within – much like Mulan.
