Harvest: Quyurciq Stanford American Indian Organization Stanford University, Building 50-51A Tues, February 19, 7-8:30PM PST This is a screening of Yupik artist Peter William's film Harvest: Quyurciq. This film deals with both his efforts to reconcile the history of fur trading in Alaska with his current business and to educate native youth about cultural norms associated with using an animal. Peter's unique viewpoints offer the viewer the opportunity to grapple with preconceived notions of marine mammal protections, the artistic value of his works in the context of capitalism, and the struggle to maintain native culture.

Fluid Ecologies Conference Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment Stanford University, Humanities Center
Thurs, February 21, 9AM-5PM PST How does water participate in political, social and economic projects and in so doing trans/form them? How is water measured, managed, feared and worried over, and in the process constituted? How does it undermine or shore up profit-maximization, state-building, infrastructure and human rights regimes? We seek to gather scholars who work on these aspects to generate conversation on the ecology -- in its political, economic and social dimensions - of water in diverse socio-political locations.
