5TH ANNUAL SYMPOSIUM: RACE & SOVEREIGNTY — MARCH 31 – APRIL 2, 2011

The 5th Annual CRS Symposium will explore the relationship between race and sovereignty. Sovereignty, like race, has been invoked, understood, and deployed in contradictory ways. Historically, sovereignty has been an important vehicle through which hegemonic power has been enforced, for example, by articulating citizenship as a racial project rooted in the power to exclude.

NATIVE VOICES AT THE AUTRY: THE FRYBREAD QUEEN BY CAROLYN DUNN

Saturday – Sunday, March 12 – 27, 2011 at Wells Fargo Theater, Griffith Park

Native Voices, America's leading Native American theater company, presents the world premiere of The Frybread Queen.

In the play, three generations of Indian women come together for the funeral of a beloved son. The collision of personalities forces them to confront long-simmering tensions that threaten to tear them apart. This quietly poetic drama has all the haunting qualities of a Chekhovian tragicomedy—Navajo style!

An Evening With R. Carlos Nakai at the Grammy Museum

Thursday, March 31, 2011 at 8:00 pm

Having released over forty albums since his debut in 1983, R. Carlos Nakai is the world's premier performer of the Native American flute. Originally trained in classical trumpet and music theory, Nakai was given a traditional cedar wood flute as a gift and challenged to see what he could do with it. Join us in the intimate Clive Davis Theater to find out first-hand what makes this nine-time GRAMMY nominee such a dynamic force. Hear Nakai in discussion about his continuous exploration of new musical settings and about how his career has been shaped by a desire to communicate a sense of Native American culture that transcends the common stereotypes presented in mass media. After the discussion, led by GRAMMY Museum Executive Director Bob Santelli, Nakai will take questions from the audience and perform a selection of songs.
