Suzan Harjo |
Jim Thorpe |
On February 11, Suzan Harjo reads excerpts from the new book she edited, Nation to Nation: Treaties Among the United States and American Indian Nations (Smithsonian Press, 2014) which features essays from Native and non-Native historians, legal scholars, and tribal activists. Copies will be available for purchase and signing.
On February 12, The Penn Museum will also host a staged reading of My Father's Bones, a short play by nationally renowned Native American writers and activists Suzan Shown Harjo and Mary Kathryn Nagle. The play recounts the ongoing struggle of three sons to recover the remains of their father—the unmatched Olympian Jim Thorpe—from the Borough of Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania, for reburial with his relatives on Sac and Fox Nation land in Oklahoma.
The free program, sponsored by the Penn Cultural Heritage Center of the Penn Museum and presented in conjunction with the Museum's Native American Voices exhibition, concludes with a panel discussion and reception.
For those unable to attend in Philadelphia, the play will be viewable online via HowlRound's livestream on its global, commons-based peer produced HowlRound TV network at http://howlround.com/tv
