W&M Fall 2023 Tack Lecture "Reconnecting Native Narratives to the Brafferton Indian School"

Anthropologist Danielle Moretti-Langholtz, Thomasina E. Jordan Director of the W&M American Indian Resource Center and administrator of the Native Studies minor, gave the university’s fall 2023 Tack Faculty Lecture on Tuesday, Nov. 14 at 7 p.m. in the Sadler Center Commonwealth Auditorium.
Her lecture, “Reconnecting Native Narratives to the Brafferton Indian School,” shares new findings about the 300-year-old history of the Brafferton, in a way that places Indigenous voices front and center.
“The Brafferton is part of a larger story connecting settler history, Indigenous labor and lifeways,” says Moretti-Langholtz. “Part of the work of a university is to reconsider topics that have been obscured, and this is such a story.”
