The Oklahoma Center for the Humanities is excited to announce that Rebecca Nagle will deliver a keynote address at the Work of Sovereignty Symposium on March 30.
Rebecca Nagle is an award-winning journalist, known for her podcast This Land, and a citizen of the Cherokee Nation. Her writing on Native representation, federal Indian law, and tribal sovereignty has been featured in the Atlantic, the Washington Post, The Guardian, USA Today, Indian Country Today, and more. Rebecca Nagle is the recipient of the American Mosaic Journalism Prize, Women’s Media Center’s Exceptional Journalism Award, a Peabody Nominee, and numerous awards from the Native American Journalist Association.
Nagel says Indigenous communities deserve the same standard of journalism as the rest of the country, but rarely receive it from non-Native media outlets. Her journalism seeks to correct this. From the census, to COVID, to the Supreme Court, Nagle focuses on deeply and timely reporting that sheds light on issues of national importance.
Nagle lives in Tahlequah, Oklahoma, where she also works on language revitalization.
Listen to her talk “We Are Still Here: Fighting Indigenous Erasure in the Media” at 7 p.m. at 101 Archer. A reception will precede the talk at 6:30 p.m. Both events are free and open to the public.
