Carroll, USET\/USET SPF Executive Director\r\n<p><\/p>\r\nA message for your consideration to all my relations fighting to protect and strengthen Indian Country\u2026\r\n<p><\/p>\r\nAs I sat an ocean away reflecting on the possibilities of what should be the righteous arc of the moral universe\u2019s long bend towards justice, the juxtaposition of the tranquil natural beauty and the violent colonizer-mindset comingled and embedded in the Italian cityscapes continued to unsettle me. This was my first time in the \u201cOld World\u201d and I was there at the Gonzaga School of Law 2024 Human Rights Conference: Cultural Heritage as a Human Right presenting on \u201cThe Story of Tribal Nation-U.S. Relations and Its Impact on Our Cultural Survival &#038; Perseverance\u201d. My presentation included a discussion on the foundations of U.S. federal Indian law and policy, including the impacts of U.S. colonization on our cultural heritage, and the current challenges and opportunities of our diplomatic relationship. What began as just another educational opportunity, albeit on the international stage, I have since realized it has changed me profoundly both personally and professionally. Cultural heritage is a fundamental human right and my experience here reinforces the need to relentlessly oppose cultural erasure at all costs, especially against the backdrop of this European hotspot of an oppressor, conqueror, colonizer, and human-rights-violator mindset\u2026\r\n<p><\/p>\r\nSource: United South and Eastern Tribes (USET)\r\n<a class=\"btn btn-primary btn-block\" href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/@bvenuti\/cultural-heritage-survival-and-perseverance-35f2daeca991\" role=\"button\">Continue Reading<\/a>\r\n\r\n<p><\/p>\r\n<div class=\"h5-responsive sub\"><EM>5.
