American Indian Student Association @ CSUN's Blurbs
About me: The American Indian Student Association at California State University Northridge is an organization dedicated to bringing awareness and education to the community about Native American culture. We put on an annual pow-wow and other events during the year.
American Indian Studies Program (AIS) aims to provide access to the unique cultures and experiences of sovereign Indian Nations and to educate a critical mass of students with knowledge of the voices, values, and traditions of First Peoples. Through AIS events, student organizations and community partnerships, CSUN provides an invaluable resource to the larger indigenous Southern California community
"A pow wow provides an opportunity for American Indians and people from all backgrounds to learn a little more about each other and to have a good time together," said Karren Baird-Olson, American Indian Studies coordinatorFirst People have experienced a dramatic renewal in their traditional cultures during the last four decades," said Baird-Olson. "The pow wow is one manifestation of the renaissance in Indian country that is carried into urban communities."
For more information regarding the AISA send us a message, and we'll get back to you asap. We are always looking for new members, so stop by one of our meetings or our office in Sierra hall 158. If you would like more information about AISA or the pow-wow send us a message or a request.

REELism Film Nights presents:
"Bomb It" with guest speaker Chaz Bojorquez
THURSDAY March 26th
6:30pm to 9pm
..
"BOMB IT" is the explosive new documentary from award-winning director Jon Reiss investigating the most subversive and controversial art form currently shaping international youth culture: graffiti.
This cutting edge documentary tracks down today's most innovative and pervasive street artists as they battle for control over the urban visual landscape. You'll never look at public space the same way again.
Chaz Bojórquez, featured in this documentary, began his art career by spray-painting along riverbeds. He attended an art school in Guadalajara, Mexico, and at Chouinard Art Institute (now Cal Arts) the year before graduating from high school in 1967. By the end of 1969, Bojórquez had created a symbol that represented him and the streets-a stylized skull called Señor Suerte (Mr. Luck). It has become a gangster image of protection from death.
Bojórquez continues to take old skool Cholo writing further and further. He has come to be internationally known and respected as one of the most influential graffiti artists of our time.
This film contains some explicit language.
$3 donation. No one turned away.
Read more on Chaz Bojorquez on this month's Juxtapoz Magazine.
Original art will also be exhibited by xXChicanoXx artist Raúl Herrera at both Tia Chuchas "Bomb it" and at CSUN on the same day.
