SUMMARY:N de Apache Diasporic Sovereignty\, History\, and Resistance Across Fronteras: A Community Dialogue with Tribal Leadership
DESCRIPTION:Students\, faculty\, and community members are invited to attend N’de Apache Diasporic Sovereignty\, History\, and Resistance Across Fronteras: A Community Dialogue with Tribal Leadership\, a scholarly talk and discussion featuring Chief Angel Geronimo Sanchez Reyes (direct descendant of Geronimo) and Vice Chief Andrew Aranda of the N’de Apache Nation. \nCo-organized by Dr. Luis Oswaldo Esparza (Queer Studies and citizen of the N’de Apache Nation)\, Dr. Teresa Williams Leon (Director of American Indian Studies)\, and Dr. JC Lugo (ChicanX Studies)\, and presented in collaboration with Chicana and Chicano Studies\, American Indian Studies\, MEChA\, and the American Indian Student Association (AISA)\, this event centers Indigenous epistemologies\, political sovereignty\, and traditions of resistance through direct engagement with contemporary N’de Apache leadership. The program is sponsored and co-promoted by the N’de Apache Nation. \nThe event will open with an interactive lecture exploring Apache history\, culture\, and diasporic sovereignty across what are now the United States and Mexico. Grounded in N’de oral histories and knowledge systems\, the presentation challenges Eurocentric historical narratives and foregrounds Indigenous self-determination as a living political practice. \nA moderated question-and-answer session will follow\, examining Native American political landscapes through critical discussions of blood quantum\, citizenship\, and sovereignty. Drawing on Gloria Anzaldúa’s Borderlands framework\, the dialogue will address how colonial borders have produced fragmentation and dispossession\, while Indigenous kinship\, governance\, and resistance continue to operate across and beyond imposed fronteras. \nThis event is open to the campus and broader community and is especially relevant for those engaged in Indigenous Studies\, Ethnic Studies\, decolonial theory\, and Native sovereignty. \n \n
