Award-winning journalist and Cherokee Nation member Rebecca Nagle will headline the Kegley Institute of Ethics’ annual Charles W. Kegley Memorial Lecture this spring.
The event, titled “Changing the Narrative: Native/Indigenous Representation in the News Media,” will be held on April 17 at 6 p.m. via Zoom. The lecture is free and open to the public.
“Nagle’s journalism, including her critically acclaimed podcast “This Land,” has helped bring overdue attention to issues affecting indigenous communities," said Interim KIE Director Dr. Nate Olson. "Her lecture will highlight the vibrancy of indigenous communities both locally and nationally.”
Local indigenous drum group Eagle Heart Drum Group from the Bakersfield American Indian Health Project Center will perform in the Dore Theatre to welcome Nagle. The group incorporates traditional intertribal songs and dance from various tribes.
Nagle’s writing on the issues of Native representation, federal Indian law and tribal sovereignty has been featured in outlets including The Atlantic, the Washington Post, USA Today and Indian Country Today. Her first book, “By the Fire We Carry: The Generations-Long Fight for Justice on Native Land,” will be published this fall.
Nagle is the recipient of the American Mosaic Journalism Prize, the largest cash prize for journalism in the U.S. She has also received the Exceptional Journalism Award from the Women’s Media Center and several awards from the Native American Journalist Association.
She was named one of the National Center for American Indian Enterprise Development’s Native American 40 Under 40 in 2016 for her work supporting survivors and advocate for policy change to address violence against Native women.
