About the Event

Named in honor of Marshall McKay, former Chairman of the Yoche Dehe Wintun Nation Tribal Council and the first Native person to serve as Chair of the Autry’s Board, the Marshall McKay Seminar seeks to empower Native knowledge by exploring topics that impact Indian Country—and beyond.

This year’s seminar will focus on Native basketry with an emphasis on revitalization and environmental resource management. Native basketweavers, knowledge keepers, scholars, and other experts will address these topics during a half-day seminar.

Can’t make it in person? This event will be live-streamed for our online audience.
