Description : The lecture series honors the legacy of Santee citizen, American Indian rights activist, international recording artist, and Hollywood actor John Trudell. Drawing upon an important visual archive of photographic images and film reels, Lonetree explores the complexities of cultural performance, modern labor, and the ongoing legacies of settler colonialism through the experiences of Ho-Chunk people performing Indigeneity within the contact zone of twentieth century Wisconsin. Particular attention is given to privileging the perspectives of the Indigenous people captured in the frame and the ongoing meaning that this visual archive has to our understanding of Ho-Chunk identity, the various ways Ho-Chunk people sought to make a living in the twentieth century, issues of representation, tourism, and survivance.
