The public is invited to spend an evening with Rebecca Nagle, Cherokee writer, advocate, and host of the acclaimed podcast This Land, for a talk and conversation on Friday, Nov. 18, at 6 p.m. in Pack Memorial Library’s Lord Auditorium.
The award-wining documentary podcast This Land illuminated the success of the Indigenous tribes’ ability to protect their sovereignty, but Nagle has a stark warning; that the tribal sovereignty her ancestors died for is once again at risk.
Buncombe County Register of Deeds, UNC Asheville Indigenous Studies Program, and The Center for Native Health are proud to bring one of the leading voices on Indigenous rights to Asheville.
Please consider joining us for this free event, seating will be limited, and reservations are required.
