Join us in our discussion with Dr. Yarbrough in order to open up the dialogue about Thanksgiving and highlight contemporary issues many native peoples in the United States (and especially women) still face today.

Dr. Yarbrough is a Professor of History at Rice whose areas of interest include native populations in the American southeast and African American history. Her first publication is Race in the Cherokee Nation, published in 2008, which examines formation of racial ideation in the Cherokee Nation. Her most recent book, Choctaw Confederates, was published this past month in October and is about the Choctaw Nation’s involvement in the Civil War.
