As part of the Sustainable Futures Speaker Series, Dr. William Bauer will present a webinar on “We Are the Land: A Native History of California in the 20th and 21st Centuries” on Thursday, November 18, from 5:30-7 p.m. 

In the late 20th and early 21st centuries, California Indian people and nations have been at the forefront of efforts to assert tribal sovereignty, defend waterways and reclaim land. Building on his recently co-authored book, "We Are the Land: A Native History of California," William Bauer will discuss how California Indians reshaped California and the United States in the 20th and 21st centuries.

William Bauer (Wailacki and Concow) is a professor of History and Program Director of American Indian and Indigenous Studies at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. He is the co-author of "We Are the Land: A Native History of California" and author of "California Through Native Eyes: Reclaiming History" and "We Were All Like Migrant Workers Here: Work, Community and Memory on California’s Round Valley Reservation, 1850-1941."
