Union Pacific Railroad Museum is partnering with Union Pacific’s Council of Native American Heritage (CONAH) employee resource group to celebrate National Native American History Month on November 21, with a free presentation by nationally acclaimed speaker, Gyasi Ross, entitled, "Native Elders and Native Youth: Bridging the Gap. Recognizing the importance of mentorship for survival and success."
Ross, a member of the Blackfeet Nation, comes from the Suquamish Nation of the Port Madison Indian Reservation in Washington State where he now resides with his family. He is a father, an author, a speaker, a lawyer and a filmmaker. He is frequently consulted by TV, radio and print media seeking his input on politics, sports, pop culture and their intersections with Native life. His newest project is the spoken word/hip hop CD entitled Isskootsik (Before Here Was Here).
This event is free and open to the public. No reservation required.
