In November, join us on Wed., Nov. 5 at noon for a conversation with award-winning journalist Joseph Lee. Hear about Lee’s stirring memoir, Nothing More of This Land: Community, Power, and the Search for Indigenous Identity, exploring indigenous identity in proximity to land that serves as an iconic vacationing spot for the wealthy—the “island paradise” Martha’s Vineyard. Lee weaves his own story—and that of his family—with conversations with indigenous leaders, artists, and scholars from around the world about a wide range of topics from culture and language to climate change and the politics of belonging.
