A Talk with the President of French Polynesia, Moetai Brotherson
Reem-Kayden Center Laszlo Z. Bito '60 Auditorium 1:30 pm – 3:00 pm EDT/GMT-4
As the prospects of deep sea mining increase in the region, French Polynesia bears the weight of nuclear testing and unfinished decolonization in the Pacific. Its journey illustrates the quest for justice, resilience, and lasting peace across the region.
President Brotherson is from Tahiti. He has a degree in computer science and has held various offices in the region since 2001. In 2007 he published a novel, Le Roi Absent (“The Absent King”). In 2010 he participated in the O Tahiti Nui Freedom expedition, which sailed a single-hulled Polynesian outrigger canoe from Tahiti to Shangha. French Polynesia is an autonomous overseas collectivity of France. He has been president since 2023.

Olin 102 6:00 pm EDT/GMT-4
Part of Pueblos Originarios/Original Pueblos: Indigenous Perspectives from Turtle Island, Cemanahuac, and Abiayala. A gathering to foster dialogue about Indigeneity throughout the Americas.
This presentation examines the writings of don Domingo de San Antón Muñón
Chimalpahin Quauhtlehuanitzin (hereafter Chimalpahin), a Nahua tlacuilo (scribe) who
produced the largest body of written texts in Nahuatl and Spanish among Nahua (Aztec) writers
of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries; it illustrates that Chimalpahin refutes Spanish
historiography by revising and extending the narratives of Spanish, castizo, mestizo, and
Indigenous authors, all while placing Indigenous history in a global context. By framing
Chimalpahin’s work as a forward-looking endeavor, Chimalpahin’s writing encourages us to
reconsider Nahua intellectual production at the turn of the seventeenth century and as a starting
point from which to imagine alternative futures that support Indigenous struggles for land and
self-determination.
Professor Carlos Macías Prieto is Assistant Professor of Spanish and Faculty Affiliate in the
Latina/o Studies Program at Williams College. He received his Ph.D. in Hispanic Languages and
Literatures in the Department of Spanish and Portuguese at UC Berkeley in 2020. Prior to his
graduate studies at Berkeley, he completed a master’s degree in American Studies from Purdue
University. Professor Macías Prieto’s book manuscript Nahua Writing at a Moment of Crisis:
Domingo Chimalpahin’s Preservation of the Cemanahuac Archive in Colonial Mexico (under
contract with Vanderbilt University Press), examines the writings of don Domingo de San Antón
Muñón Chimalpahin Quauhtlehuanitzin (hereafter Chimalpahin), a Nahua scribe who produced
the largest body of written texts in Nahuatl and Spanish among Nahua writers of the sixteenth
and seventeenth centuries. It traces an Indigenous intellectual project that diverges from that of
European authors who sought to appropriate native history to legitimize themselves as the
rightful rulers of the land. Nahua Writing at a Moment of Crisis argues that Chimalpahin’s
oeuvre reveals a unique Indigenous intellectual project, written in Nahuatl for Nahua readers of
the future. And it shows that Chimalpahin’s project safeguarded the Indigenous history of
Cemanahuac—the Indigenous world as seen by the Nahuas— making it possible for future
generations of Nahuas to reclaim their Indigenous history, language, and land.

Featuring Stephanie Kyuyong Lee’s Hard Labor, Soft Space
Stevenson Library Food and Memory, curated by Olivia Tencer, Mayss Al Alami, and Melina Roise, is an exhibition to accompany the third and final Rethinking Place: Bard-on-Mahicantuk annual conference. This exhibition showcases 10 works by artist and architect Stephanie Kyuyoung Lee. As part of Lee’s project Hard Labor, Soft Space: The Making of Radical Farms, these maps “examine the rural future in the context of climate disasters and political upheavals by exploring the intersections of race, labor, and land in agriculture-based collective living projects, particularly in the Northeastern United States.”
Through a research-based investigation with collective farms and food systems changemakers in the Hudson Valley, Lee “reframes rurality as a site of radical reclamation.” Displayed alongside dried food ingredients representing the building blocks of recipes from Indigenous cookbooks, Food & Memory attempts to reveal both the textural and ecological micro– and social and political macro– of our dinner plates.
Exhibited alongside these works are several Indigenous cookbooks and food memoirs that are a part of the Rethinking Place Collection, acquired for the Stevenson Library during 2024-2025. In conversation with Lee’s maps, these texts focus on land and food as an avenue for social justice (in food sovereignty, rematriation, and foodways revitalization), and as a living archive (in cookbooks, works of food history, seed relations, and writings and theory about naming and classifying environments). The works are also kinetic and organic materials for creation (in material or land-based projects), and include exploration of both cultivated and non-cultivated varietals.
Exhibition Organization, Credits & Sponsorship: The exhibition is made possible by Rethinking Place: Bard-on-Mahicantuk, the Mellon Foundation, Bard College Center for Indigenous Studies, and Bard College Stevenson Library.

Black History Month Screening Hosted by Bard Center for Indigenous Studies and the Office of the Dean of Inclusive Excellence
Weis Cinema 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm EST/GMT-5
A film by Marcos C. Barbery and Sam Russell.
By Blood chronicles American Indians of African descent as they battle to regain their tribal citizenship. The film explores the impact of this battle, which has manifested into a broader conflict about race, identity, and the sovereign rights of indigenous people. The film demonstrates both sides of the battle, the shared emotional impact of the issue, and the rising urgency of the debate: Native American and African American history has been overlooked, and a tribal body feels as though their sovereignty is under siege.
