HASA
HAWAI’I AMERICAN STUDIES ASSOCIATION
The Hawai‘i American Studies Association chapter is sponsoring the (Re)mapping Indigenous & Settler Geographies in the Pacific conference. The conference will be held on October 18-19 at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa. This gathering explores the intersection between indigenous and settler communities through the act of (re)mapping. (Re)mapping is an indigenous and gendered project that enacts vibrant native futures by restoring and reimagining our relationships to place, people, and the environment. (Re)mapping also refers to critical settler projects that interrogate how settler colonialism gets articulated through physical, cultural, spatial and environmental geographies that erase indigenous peoples from their lands.

This year the Colloquium will focus on themes of Community in American Studies, higher education and academia, and American society.

PNASA
PACIFIC NORTHWEST AMERICAN STUDIES ASSOCIATION
PNASA officers Christopher Leise and Laurie Arnold hosted an NEH-funded Summer Institute for College and University Teachers on “The Native American West” from June 17-July 1, 2018, at Whitman College in Walla Walla, WA. Scholars attending the institute represented 19 states; they came from four-year colleges, two-year colleges, graduate programs and museums. Six of the scholars represented Native American communities. Scholars received classroom instruction from 12 visiting faculty and took field trips to four key regional sites: Whitman Mission, Tamástslikt Cultural Institute in Pendleton, the Columbia Gorge Discovery Center in The Dalles and the Northwest Museum of Arts and Culture in Spokane. A major goal of the institute was to enable the summer scholars to develop new syllabi and classroom assignments that they could take back and incorporate into their courses; these and other documents will be available via a broadly accessible web-based repository of resources at nativeamericanwest.org.
