As the United States approaches its 250th anniversary, Tribal Nations have an important opportunity to help shape the national conversation about our shared history and future.

Long before the founding of the United States, Indigenous peoples lived, governed, and cared for these lands. America 250 provides a moment to recognize Tribal sovereignty, honor Indigenous histories and contributions, and ensure Native voices are included in this historic commemoration.

Join the Fernandeño Tataviam Band of Mission Indians, Tribal leaders, university leadership, students, faculty, and community members for a discussion on the significance of America 250 and the role of Tribal Nations in telling a more complete and inclusive story of our nation.
