1491s Play With Themselves, Imagery and Reclamation: 1491s at TEDxManitoba 2013

We're motivated by our own wanting to see Native People in a modern and vital context. Also, girls may be watching. The 1491s are an artist collective of American Indian writers, filmmakers, visual and traditional artists, and language advocates. I'm going to be honest here. Half our group had no idea who TED was before we got asked to speak. And the other half still doesn't know. We're excited because TEDx is a forum that is outside of Indian Country. We're thrilled to be able to play with people's perception of Indians. The idea of Natives as a waning, sad, nearly extinct and mythical species is suuuuper wrong.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
