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: Dave Beck Affiliate Faculty, Program in American Indian Studies
Description: As the Cold War began, the United States expanded its empire in the Pacific. The U.S. took islands for strategic purposes and literally evaporated some of them with nuclear testing. On the continent the U.S. built dams submerging Indigenous lands under water. This talk explores the impacts of those events.
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.
