Historically linked, Native and Arab peoples in the greater Michigan region continue to face issues of racial, cultural, economic, linguistic, educational and legal discrimination. In the face of persistent and increased white supremacy, militarism and ongoing colonization, Native and Arab communities have fought for self-determination, sovereignty and human/civil rights. What can be learned from the shared coalition building, sovereignty and human/civil rights struggles around land, language, self-determination and liberation?

Gathering together Indigenous and Arab artists, activists/organizers, and educators to engage these questions and the work of Doris Bittar and her collaborators, the Arab American National Museum will convene a panel that centers and acknowledges historical links between these communities and illustrate pathways forward together for the future.
