Confronting the Peaceful Indian and Other Tropes as Essential to Building Solidarity

Patty Krawec and Fawn E. Pochel speak in this session recorded at Socialism 2024. This session was sponsored by Chi Nations Youth Council, Midnight Sun, Giniw Collective, and Indigenous Grounds. This session will be a conversation between Anishinaabekweg on how it’s essential to Indigenous liberation to examine and work against the invasiveness of the Peaceful Indian trope (which plays the Native as helpless victims in need of a white savior) in the creation of Solidarity movements. The next Socialism Conference will be held in Chicago, July 3-6. Learn more about the Socialism Conference at www.socialismconference.org.
