Dear <<First Name>>

Please join us for a very special Zoom event on Thursday, November 9,

4–5 pm: a conversation with Yale historian Ned Blackhawk, PhD, discussing his new book, The Rediscovery of America: Native People and the Unmaking of U.S. History. The discussion will be moderated by Christian Crouch, PhD, Bard dean of graduate studies and associate professor of history and American and Indigenous Studies.

Admission is free and open to the public, but registration is required.

Praise for Dr. Blackhawk's landmark book includes:

• 2023 Finalist for the National Book Award

  
  

• “A sweeping, important, revisionist work of American history that places Native Americans front and center.” New York Times

  
  

• “Thoughtful, innovative, and provocative....U.S. history turned upside           down.” Boston Globe

The event will be hosted by Bard LLI, Oblong Books, Starr Library, and Bard's Center for Indigenous Studies.

Signed copies of Dr. Blackhawk’s book are available at Oblong Books in Rhinebeck (while they last).

This marks the capstone of our Fall 2023 course Native Americans in the Hudson Valley: We Are Still Here and a commemoration of November as National Native American Heritage Month.
