Native American House

Dinner on Us (DOU) is administered by the Native American House (NAH) and is part of the Lunch on Us Series within Student Success, Inclusion & Belonging. 

DOU is a one-hour program that features scholar- and practitioner-led workshops paired with a shared meal. Held twice monthly from September through November and February through April, DOU explores a wide range of Native and Indigenous-focused topics while offering participants meaningful opportunities to connect with peers and experts in a relaxed, conversational setting. 

This DOU workshop features: Lindsay Stallones Marshall, Ph.D, Assistant Professor of History and affiliated faculty in Native American Studies. 

Description: Historical narratives are often said to have been “written from the back of a horse,” yet scholarship rarely considers horses as meaningful historical actors. This presentation examines how centering Indigenous horse knowledge offers a powerful framework for understanding our shared past with greater clarity, depth, and cultural accuracy.  

This program is open to all eligible persons regardless of race, color, or national origin. Reasonable accommodations are available upon request. Please contact the Native American House at nah@illinois.edu.
