On Friday, Sept. 25, 2009, Sami from the University of Tromso in Norway will participate in a roundtable discussion with University of Montana professors regarding indigensou perspectives. The full-day event promises several sessions filled with a great exchange of ideas. More so, the panels will reveal intersecting global interests among indigenous peoples. The roundtable begins at 9 a.m. (see note below) in the UC Theatre with UM professor Kate Shanley kicking off the discussion with a welcome and opening comments. Check out the flyer for all the details.

Also note, the day will begin with a sunrise ceremony in honor of Native Heritage Day. Go to the base of the “M” trail on campus at 7 a.m., a kickoff to American Indian Heritage Day at the University of Montana.
