Lance Henson

Dear Committee members, does anyone of you know Lance Henson? He seems to be a Native American who lives in Europe. The problem is that since years, when I send out an email with information on conferences and events, he responses to me and complains the he is not invited as a speaker to the conference or as a performer to the event. Each year he complains that he is not invited as a keynote speaker to the AIW. Since years I am explaining to him that I am not the organizer of these events and if he wants to complain he shall use the contact email listed in the info. He ignores that and continues to send his complaints to me. Last time he complained that he was not invited to the Indigenous Peoples Day at NONAM! His last email (see below) has another quality now. He starts to insult me for information on an event I have sent out. I cannot tolerate that! If anyone of you knows him, please contact him and tell him, that he should stop sending his complaints and insults to me. If this does not stop, I will remove him from our mailing list.

For this two-part session, Conrad Scott will examine how some of these imaginings about the future are disturbing and even dystopian, unpacking such factors as environmental entanglements, changes to place, and the disappearance of home, among other factors, in a reading of contemporary work in this area. Conrad Scott (PhD, English and Film Studies, University of Alberta; MA, University of Victoria, English) is an Assistant Lecturer with the University of Alberta, and also teaches Athabasca University’s “The Ecological Imagination” course. He serves as the Co-President for the Association for Literature, Environment, and Culture in Canada (ALECC) and the Science Fiction Research Association’s (SFRA) Country Rep for Canada. He researches contemporary sf and environmental literature, with current projects focused on plant and animal futures, and the spatial turn. His academic writing has appeared in journals like Transmotion, Extrapolation, Paradoxa, The Anthropocene and the Undead, Environmental Philosophy, The Goose, UnderCurrents, Science Fiction Studies, and The SFRA Review, with forthcoming chapters in The Routledge Handbook of CoFuturisms (2023) and Animals and SF (Palgrave 2023). He is also a co-editor for the forthcoming Entangled Futurities (Routledge 2024), the proofreader for the forthcoming English-translated Anthology of Turkish Science Fiction Stories (Transnational Press London 2023), and the author of the poetry collection Waterline Immersion (Frontenac House 2019).

Dear all, FYI. It is sad that she thinks she must apologize for a “native person” who is actually Pretendian. I am going to send a response to Livia’s email and my suggestion on how to prevent an AIW participation of members of phony “Indian tribes”, pretendians and wannabees soon, when I feel a bit better.

With the help of Judit Kadar and the US Embassy folks, I was able to be a part of something I will never forget. I was touched by all of your discussions and work on the conditions of Native America, past and present. I was so fascinated by all of it and have come back home to my reservation with a sense of being cared about. I am truly grateful for each of your part in this. Having your interests in our plight is incredibly important. Thank you. It means a lot to me. I also want to acknowledge the great effort Judit Kadar did in bringing me and my artwork into the discussion. The respect and thoughtfulness I felt in her care while busy trying to hold a conference together was amazing. I am happy to call her my new friend. I left with much love in my heart for her and Lukas. I apologize for the behavior of some of our native people who were there in a disrespectful way, and hope that their actions and words do not reflect badly on all Native Americans or on Judit . Again, I want to thank you all for your kindness, your work, your words, and your continued journey in understanding the world we all inhabit. kudawaha (thankyou) sincerely, Roxanne Swentzell www.roxanneswentzell.net <http://www.roxanneswentzell.net>

Bad KarmDear all,

23 Jun '23

Dear all, unfortunately, I had an accident today. I slipped and fell with my head against a door frame. I needed to call a doctor and he told me that apart from the bruises in my face and a black eye, I also have got a mild concussion and must stay in bed for a few days. Therefore, I won't be able to work at my computer and answer emails during the next days. Renate

Topics of discussion
by AIW - Bartl 21 Jun '23

21 Jun '23

Dear Committee Members, for the agenda I have got the following new topics up to now (see also attachment). Deborah Madsen will suggest organizing the AIW 2026 in Geneva/Switzerland. The email below is from a first-time participant who is not on our mailing list and she asks a question we have discussed during several business meetings in the past. In London (2017) we decided to stay focused on North America (for workload reasons and because we are quite unique with our conference focusing on Indigenous North America only). We also decided that local organizers have the option to include Middle and South America into their workshop topic and CFP if they want. My question is: shall I put that topic on the agenda for discussion once again, or shall I explain to her what we decided in London?

I speak my language, Q’anjo’bal /Kanjobal. I was born and raised in San Diego California. I am wondering if The American Indian workshop is only about North American Indians (United States of America) or is this subject inclusive to Central American Indigenous peoples? There are indigenous people in South America too. Their stories are similar to the northern part of the America’s. I am attending your event with Dr. Stan Rodriguez and Dr. Elena Hood. I look forward to meeting and networking to learn more with others. Sincerely Shween / Jenny Vicaldo

Dear all, attached is the draft of the AIW Business Meeting Agenda. If you have something to correct or add, do it in the text or send an email to me. To James: Do you take part in the Committee Meeting? Do you want to talk about the AIW online conference you offered to organize? In case yes, I would add the following topic to the agenda: AIW Talkshop: James Mackay on annual AIW online meeting Talkshop (?? min.) CC: Avelino Corral Esteban Best Renate ----- Dr. phil.

My topics for AIW Business Meeting
by Reni Bartl 09 Jun '23

09 Jun '23

Dear all, I have three topics to talk about at the AIW business meeting: 1. Finances I want to inform our members about the financial situation and the balance of our bank account (this takes ca. 1 minute). 2. Server and Internet-Security I need to inform participants on how our virtual server is set up by Patrick, incl. spam and hack protection. When AIW mailing list members get spam mails they often write to me that our server was hacked, which is not the case. I want to inform them about the security level of our mail server. Moreover, I want to inform them about the AIW the function and limitations of our email service, e.g. that it cannot be used as a discussion platform (this may take 5 minutes). 3. AIW initiative for participants with disabilities As I am personally affected by that, I would like to raise the awareness towards people with disabilities. We have participants who cannot walk very well or who have hearing problems. Up to now the AIW has mostly ignored these problems. E.g. whether conference rooms are accessible by stairs only or whether there is an elevator, whether the stairs have handrails, whether wheelchairs are available, etc. It is also important that people can follow the discussion. If persons in the first row talk to the presenters, the rest of the room often can hardly hear what they say. Chairs should be aware of that problem and make sure that everyone on the room can hear, what people are talking about. Maybe seats in the first row can be reserved for participants with disabilities. The same is true for online participants. Programs for virtual participation often have a subtitle function for persons with hearing problems, which is rarely activated. These are complaints that were communicated to me in the past. US conferences usually have an information on a contact person with email address for participants with special needs, and this is already mentioned in the call for papers. European conferences rarely do that. For the AIW general management, I can serve as a contact person for persons with disabilities, but for the annual workshops a member of the local organizer should be that contact person. These are my suggestions. For all this I may need ca. 10 minutes to talk about. We can talk this out at the committee meeting. Best, Renate

AIW finances
by Reni Bartl 01 May '23

01 May '23

Dear all, attached is the accounting for 2022. Thanks to the refund of our annual expenses by Carlo, we are still in a good financial position. As of March 31, 2023, we have 838,53 EUR on our bank account. This means the AIW server is financed for the next 5 years, even if we do not get refund from AIW organizers. Best, Renate
