This year the DePaul Humanities Center’s annual Humanities Laureate Award will be given to the Natives at Standing Rock in recognition of the ethical, political, and cultural importance of their heroic resistance against the Dakota Access Pipeline and continued struggle against state oppression of Native Americans.

Three Native activists will be accepting the award on behalf of the larger community. The ceremony and panel discussion takes place Wednesday, May 17 from 7:00-8:30 PM in the Student Center Room 120. See the flyer above for more details.
