About this event
Since the arrival of Columbus, thousands of perpetrators have gotten away with murder, burying evidence of their crimes in police reports and court testimony. How Settlers Get Away with Murder unearths that hidden evidence to expose the ongoing crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous women and Two-Spirit people (MMIW2S). Join us as historian and citizen of Cherokee Nation Liza Black discusses 5 cases in Canada, the US, and Mexico, from 1908 to 2017 and answers questions about How Settlers Get Away with Murder. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Liza Black is a citizen of Cherokee Nation and an associate professor of history and of Native American and Indigenous studies at Indiana University. Her first book, Picturing Indians: Native Americans in Film, 1941–1960, reveals how Native actors navigated Hollywood’s racialized structures. As a 2024–25 Racial Justice Fellow at Harvard University’s Kennedy School and a 2021–22 Visiting Scholar at the University of California Los Angeles, she completed How Settlers Get Away with Murder. Her research and public scholarship, featured on NPR, PBS, Red Nation podcast, and High Country News, examines the intersections of Indigenous history, representation, and policy.
