Vine Deloria Jr. Education Summit

This year’s Tribal Education Summit will honour the life and legacy of Vine Deloria Jr. (Standing Rock Sioux, 1933-2005).

Vine’s more than fifty-year career as an educator, scholar, lawyer, activist, and theologian laid a foundation that is still strong at the University of Arizona and beyond. This symposium will reflect on Vine’s work by bringing together generations of his academic descendants, from esteemed alumni to current Wildcats, to illustrate the impact his interdisciplinary legacy continues to foster twenty years after his passing.
