He worked as a physician and social justice activist for Native American rights. Dr. Montezuma was the first Native American to earn an undergraduate and a medical degree from Northwestern University.

I grew up in Chicago spending my summers and weekends traveling the Midwest and into Canada going to pow-wows with my family.   Music has always played a big part of my life. Driving across the country with my family made the radio and tape players as much of a part of the family as my siblings.   My father took me to see B.B. King when I was 16. I had my first experience of what it means to “Own a room.”  From there I\, surprisingly\, took a break from guitar and music to try graphic art. I had hoped to become an art teacher. I had many that were quite influential.   Ultimately\, I found my way home to music. And\, I couldn’t be happier. I found a place where I can express feeling in a way that my graphic arts were\, without my realizing\, leading me to. Today\, I chase dreams. I’m catching a few too. “To infinity and beyond…” \nJennifer M. Stevens is currently a resident of Bayview-Milwaukee\, Wisconsin.  She is an enrolled member of the Oneida Nation of Wisconsin through her father and Oglala Lakota through her Mother.  She was born in Alexandria\, Virginia and raised on the Oneida Nation-De Pere\, Wisconsin and received her Bachelor’s of Arts Degree in Art from St. Norbert College.   \nJennifer M.

Under this policy\, the government intended to assimilate Native Americans residing on rural reservation lands into the white\, American mainstream society. From 1952 into the 1970s\, 100\,000’s Native people and their families moved to cities where they struggled to adjust to life in a metropolis and faced unemployment\, low-end jobs\, discrimination\, homesickness\, and the loss of traditional cultural support. \n\nThe urban relocation program changed the face of cities and Native American cultures\, and its effects are still with us in Cook County. During this discussion\, Menominee/Oneida elder Bernadine Vigue will share her family’s move from the Menominee Indian Reservation in Wisconsin to Chicago and Gary\, Indiana\, in 1952 under the federal relocation program. Key leaders of Chicago’s Indigenous community\, Andrew Johnson and Shelly Tucciarelli will discuss the unintended consequences that continue to impact the region today and how their work in economic development and equitable housing aims to improve the well-being of Chicago’s Native community. \n  \n\n\n\n\nThis is a hybrid in-person and virtual event.
