An invited keynote will speak on Indigenous Peoples Law, Policy and Human Rights; daily sessions will feature a variety of presentations and discussions, ample time for networking and serendipitous connection among a variety of scholars, educators, and NGO practitioners, as well as an optional Saturday excursion highlighting the cultural richness, past and present, of our Tucson surroundings.
