The Simon Ortiz RED INK Indigenous Speaker Series, sponsored by the Labriola Center at Arizona State University, addresses topics and issues across disciplines in the arts, humanities, sciences and politics. Underscoring indigenous American experiences and perspectives, this series seeks to create and celebrate knowledge that evolves from an inclusive Indigenous worldview and that is applicable to all walks of life.
