DESCRIPTION:Revolution Books presents a talk and discussion with Dr.Sarah Whitt, who 
 will be speaking by Zoom. \n\nWatch the program in-person at Revolution 
 Books\n\nIn this talk, Dr. Sarah Whitt (Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma) 
 discusses the history of Native American boarding schools and how they have 
 been used as tools of settler colonialism in the United States. From 1879 
 to 1934, the U.S. pursued a campaign to “assimilate” Indian people by 
 forced confinement and indoctrination, and today, Native people are one of 
 the most policed and surveilled populations in the country. Centering the 
 experiences of Indian people at the Carlisle Indian Industrial School, the 
 U.S.’s most notorious Indian boarding institution, her talk examines a 
 punitive history of racialized discipline—and the relevance of old 
 settler violences for tribal nations today.\n\nDr. Whitt received her PhD 
 from UC Berkeley. She is currently an Assistant Professor at UC Irvine 
 where she researches, writes, and teaches about Indigenous experiences in 
 settler institutions. Her personal and professional work contributes to the 
 decolonization of the master historical narrative about Indigenous peoples 
 on Turtle Island.\n
