Hindsight Distorted: Dispelling Misconceptions about Native Society Prior to 1492

Lots of folks have misconceptions about what life for Native peoples was like prior to contact with Europeans. Join us at the Main Library at Goodwood on Saturday, November 2, 2024 at 10 a.m. as Michael D.O. Rusco (Cooweeja Mįįnąk), Southern University Law Center Professor, asks the audience to reconsider specific aspects of those assumptions by presenting current research on the topics. This talk also suggests that these erroneous assumptions have formed the foundation of how Native Nations have been treated and changes that need to flow from these new understandings. A law professor for more than 13 years, Prof. Rusco has spoken, published, taught, and practiced extensively in the areas of litigation, appellate advocacy, commercial law, tribal law and federal Indian law.
