Community Conversation: What Does It Mean to Be American? is presented in partnership with Oregon Humanities and community weaver Chisao Hata, this conversation will explore when and how we define ourselves as an “American.” Does knowing the Constitution make us American? Does living on land controlled by the United States of America make us American? Through conversation and nonverbal exploration, we will share what “American” means to us individually and within the communities we belong to or came from, and what perspectives shaped our understanding of American identity and who is included in “We the People.”

The program is free but RSVP is required.
