While media outlets have emphasized the disproportionate pandemic-related deaths in Indigenous communities across the nation, Showing Our Strength shares a parallel narrative of hope and collaborative support focused on work that aims to preserve and uplift Native communities. Many individuals and organizations have worked to ensure that lifeways continued during the height of the pandemic and that certain life-ways and traditions are able thrive beyond the pandemic.

Showing Our Strength welcomes perspectives from a selection of Native-led organizations through a thoughtful discussion of grassroot programs that support community and that underscore resilience and perseverance within the landscape of the Indigenous American Southwest. Moderated by President and CEO of the New Mexico Foundation, JoAnn Melchor, the program will share what lessons from this last year have revealed about the future.

About The School for Advanced Research
Founded in 1907, the School for Advanced Research has supported innovative social science and Native American artistic creativity for more than a century. One of North America’s preeminent independent institutes for the study of anthropology, related social sciences, and humanities, SAR is home to the Indian Arts Research Center (IARC) a collection of over 12,000 works of Native American art ranging from the sixth century to the present. The goal of IARC is to bridge the divide between creativity and scholarship by supporting initiatives and projects in Native American studies, art history, and creative expression that illuminate the intersections of the social sciences, humanities, and arts. This is accomplished by providing fellowship opportunities for artists to engage in uninterrupted creativity; fostering dialogue among artists, researchers, scholars, and community members through seminars and symposia; nurturing future arts and museums professionals through experiential training; and promoting study and exploration of the IARC collection of Native American arts. Additional information on the work of our resident scholars Native American artists, and ongoing programs, is available on the SAR website: https://sarweb.org/, on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/schoolforadvancedresearch, and on Twitter: @schadvresearch.
