What Can Vassar Do to Build a Relationship with the Stockbridge-Munsee Community.
|
By Sari Gubar, Priscilla Kendall, and Bronwyn Pappas-Byers. Listen to our podast here. With input from Gabi James of NAISA, Vassar Professor Molly McGlennon, and special guest Heather Bruegl, Director of Cultural Affairs with the Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohican Indians, this podcast explores what decolonization work has been done on Vassar’s campus and what comes next. This podcast shares the current status of Vassar’s young relationship with the Stockbridge-Munsee and, through an investigation of UC Davis’s response to an outcry for recognition of the occupation of P’atwin, considers further steps that Vassar must take to address its position as a PWI on Stockbridge-Munsee land.
