Last Thursday, Sept. 22, the kickoff event for the annual Native American Indigenous Studies Association Northeast Gathering and Five College Native American Indigenous Studies Symposium was held at the Mount Holyoke College Art Museum. Attendees made up of Five College NAIS faculty, students and local NAIS academics ate Wampanoag cuisine from Sly Fox Den Restaurant & Bar and concentrated in the front gallery, where they examined one of the newest MHCAM exhibits, “Considering Indigeneity.”
