- Rachel Iheanacho (Iowa State University)
Abstract
Currently, Native Americans are "unspoken and unseen" throughout the United States; kept behind closed doors. This session will provide entry into the lives of Native American people today. It will draw out the present issues Native Americans face and how the United States perpetuates those dilemmas. This session will focus on education, health, poverty, population, and aid. In addition, a representative of this ethnic group will provide valuable, first-hand knowledge of contemporary Native American struggles.
