SUMMARY:Petrosovereignty and Native Nations — Scholar Talk with Dr. Angela Kay Parker
DESCRIPTION:Join the School for Advanced Research (SAR) in Santa Fe\, New Mexico for\nPetrosovereignty and Native Nations\, a free scholar talk with\nDr. Angela Kay Parker\, Katrin H.

Moving from\nOsage and Creek territories to Blackfeet\, Crow\, Alaska Native communities\, Southern Ute\, Jicarilla Apache\, Fort Berthold\, and Standing Rock\,\nDr. Parker places Native sovereignty at the center of the story of American oil. \nThe program explores how tribal governments have faced complex decisions about land\,\nauthority\, and resource use over time. Rather than treating energy development as a\none-way story of “progress\,” Dr. Parker foregrounds Native communities that have\nborne the greatest costs—and that are actively shaping more just and self-determined futures. \nAbout the Speaker\nAngela Kay Parker (Mandan\, Hidatsa\, Cree) is the\nKatrin H. Lamon Fellow at the School for Advanced Research and an\nAssistant Professor of History at the University of Denver\, specializing in\ntwentieth-century Native American and U.S. history.1\nHer work centers tribal sovereignty\, territorial politics\, and the lived experiences of Native communities. \nHow to Attend\n\nIn person: Register to attend on the historic SAR campus in Santa Fe.\nOnline: Watch the livestream on SAR’s YouTube channel:\n\nwww.youtube.com/@sarsantafemultimedia\n\n\nAbout the School for Advanced Research\nFounded in 1907\, the School for Advanced Research (SAR) advances creative thought\nand innovative work in the social sciences\, humanities\, and Native American arts.\nSAR is home to the Indian Arts Research Center (IARC)\, a leader in\ncommunity-advised and collaborative Indigenous arts engagement and collections stewardship. \nThrough scholar residencies\, seminars\, artist fellowships\, SAR Press publications\,\nand a wide range of public programs\, SAR supports intellectual inquiry and human\nunderstanding.
