Long Island, New York, the Shinnecock Indian Nation endured the impact of
settler-colonialism since the 1500s. Cholena will explore contemporary ways
in which Shinnecock have worked to strengthen cultural identity living on a
small reservation set aside within their original territories in 1703. She
will discuss Shinnecock history and culture, and provide insight into
contemporary issues such as their struggle for and achievement of federal
recognition and sovereignty between 1978 and October of 2010. </span></p>
