The land feature known as the Nanih Waiya mound is central to the religious beliefs and cultural identity of the Choctaw Tribe of Native Americans. The function and creation of this mound differs depending upon the perspective of the Choctaw Tribal divisions, but it is mostly classified as a human-made earthwork that dates back to the Middle Woodland period (c. 0-300 CE) with naturally occurring features. Choctaw tribal members were separated from their original land and the Nanih Waiya after European contact and forced evacuations which began with the Indian Removal Act of 1830. The mound is present in most Choctaw origin stories and is a source of identity and community for the Tribe.

During the pandemic, students experience a series of academic, structural, social, and personal stressors. For example, some students experienced abrupt closure of colleges and universities; some students’ households did not have access to needed resources such as an internet connection, and limited resources for remote online learning. Students of color experience these stressors in addition to ethnic minority stress which may have been exacerbated because of the current social climate. The current study examined associations between minority student achievement stress on self-esteem and academic sense of belonging and the possible moderating effects of challenge-focused stress appraisals.

The objective of this historic preservation project is to evaluate the historical significance of an Arcata landmark, the Nixon House, constructed on Wiyot land, to determine its eligibility for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. We analyzed literary and primary source documents, consulted with the homeowners and local historic preservation organizations, and Tribal Historic Preservation Offices. The property is significant under National Register Criteria A & C. Our analysis of this process highlights colonial hegemony in our society by basing the house’s historical value on its association with a period of genocide.

In efforts to concretely display aspects of what bell hooks deems as a ‘White Supremacist Captialist Imperial Patriarchy’ this research aims to hold accountable the ‘normative’ and ‘professional’ requirements of discourse within any pedagogical space. To create a innovatively personal perspective on the ways with which we receive and are received by peers and mentors alike; challenging the perpetuation of the manifold affects within White Supremacy while instilling, hopefully, bravery with TQPOC to refute limitations set on their being.

We created a website to promote ethical awareness and responsibility among the Cal Poly Humboldt community. The recent housing decisions have raised ethical concerns, and our website offers resources for housing, transportation, mental health, and local community services. We believe that these issues, such as food and housing insecurities and environmental impacts like pollution and resource scarcity, are interconnected. Our website aims to provide necessary resources to help address these issues and promote environmental consciousness.

This event being free and on campus made it accessible for students who enjoy electronic music, art, or are looking for a leisurely activity to participate in on a Thursday evening.

The curriculum will be developed for current inmates at the local county jail experiencing co-occurring disorders. Culminating healthier approaches to communication and stress management as well as developing systems of support in regards to personal relationships may provide foundations for increasing overall functioning and wellbeing. The curriculum will be guided by the empowerment process, based on an individual’s right to self-determination; valuing personal perspective, acknowledging difficulties and encouraging self-regulated personal growth. The project will attempt to address current problematic and maladaptive thinking and behavior for current inmates with co-occurring disorders.

The Humboldt Unitarian Universalist Fellowship in Bayside is an all inclusive religious organization with a focus on fostering healthy relationships between all beings and the world we live in. HUUF has multiple committees through which they address different aspects of intersectional issues. In this poster we will compile the three separate emphasises of our service learning experience through the HUUF which are: children’s religious education, providing services to the homeless, and sharing the importance of native plants with the congregation. We will share what we learned from our experience, how that deepened our understanding of Religion in America, and how we served the community.l
