Illustration: The Land We Have Always Known, Special Collections Exhibit, Oct. 14-end of Fall term

Knight Library Special Collections, 2nd Floor

Exhibit open through end of Fall 2024

This exhibit, guest-curated by University of Oregon student Marisol Peters (class of 2027, Karuk), explores Indigenous land relationships in Oregon and the Pacific Northwest. Working at the intersections between the land, water, culture and history, "The Land We Have Always Known" asks us to re-evaluate our beliefs about our more-than-human relatives and consider ways in which we can heal our world by changing the way we relate to the land.

Between 1975-1980, after major public takeovers of the Red Power movement, Native American activism shifted significantly from a domestic agenda to an international Indigenous initiative in the fight for sovereignty, self-determination, and human rights. My project explores how Native American activists and organizations, namely the National Congress of the American Indian and the Bureau of Indian Affairs, utilized international human rights frameworks like the Helsinki Accords to bring attention to the human rights violations against Native Americans and influence emerging policies during the Carter Administration.
Whittle Landback Lecture Poster, March 12, 4:30 pm, Knight Library Browsing Room
Tuesday, March 11, 2025
Conversation: 4:30-6:00 pm, Knight Library Browsing Room
Reception: 6:00-7:00 pm, Special Collections & University Archives
 
Speakers:  
  • Joe Whittle (Caddo), photographer and creator of LANDBACK: RETURNING PUBLIC LANDS TO NATIVE AMERICANS, a four-part photojournalism project documenting the Landback Movement
  • Kanim Moses-Conner (Nez Perce) great-great-great grandnephew of the legendary Chief Joseph and a favorite subject/ collaborator of Whittle’s 
  • Marisol Peters (Karuk), co-director of the Native American Student Union and third-year NAIS and public policy program undergraduate student
  • Torsten Kjellstrand, Professor of Practice, School of Journalism & Communications
  • Brian Bull (Nez Perce), Assistant Professor, School of Journalism  
     
    Joe Whittle will be launching his Landback project, wherein he explores the compelling reasons why federal lands should be returned to Native Americans, “as a matter of addressing climate change, conservation, reparations, and a legal requirement due to the unconstitutional violation of every treaty the US ever signed with Native Americans.” Special Collections & University Archives is currently exhibiting several of Whittle’s photographs in an exhibition curated by student Marisol Peters, "The Land We Have Always Known," and is planning to acquire the Landback work for the archive.
