Antiracism Speaker Series: Heather TorresFreeOct 21, 20245 p.m.

Heather Torres, Esq. serves as Tribal Law and Policy Institute's Program Director. ​She is a graduate of UCLA School of Law's Critical Race Studies program, where she focused her courses and research on Federal Indian law and the racialization of American Indian identity.

 "I am an enrolled member of San Ildefonso Pueblo, and descendant of the Navajo Nation (Diné) and Mexican peoples. I grew up in the Inland Empire of Southern California in the lands of the Yuhaaviatam clan of Maara’yam (Serrano) peoples. My experiences in Southern California, away from my tribal homelands, impacted me immensely. I am proud to be from the Inland Empire, a place that is often disregarded or misunderstood, and proud to be taken care of by the striking mountains and valleys that characterize the homelands of the Serrano. My upbringing gave me a toughness and confidence that developed my sense of commitment to serve and advocate for others that guides me today." 

Event will occur on Zoom.
