"God is Still Red" Symposium: The Work of Vine Deloria, Jr.
Call for Papers and Presentations
Date: 11-13 July 2007
Location: Vancouver School of Theology

Co-sponsored by Yuu-hadaax and The Indigenous Theological Training Institute (ITTI) of North America, Inc.

In 1973 Vine published God is Red: A Native View of Religion. Vine’s book influenced aboriginal theology globally. Subsequently, post-colonial thought has emerged along similar themes. Now, over thirty years later, it is time to re-discover his work and determine its relevance for us in the 21st century.

You are invited to participate in this symposium by submitting a paper or presentation. Also, you are invited to come, listen and sit in this circle of learning, without making a presentation. This Symposium will engage the work of Vine Deloria, Jr. and its importance for our new generations.

Please forward a one-page abstract of your presentation by April 30, 2007 to Yuu-hadaax, c/o the Vancouver School of Theology. Submissions will be accepted up to July 1, 2007.

Summaries submitted by April 30th will be posted on this web site. We propose to record all proceedings and make them available in digital form. Papers and presentations will be published in the ITTI First Peoples Theology Journal.

Cost: There is no registration fee to attend or present. Those presenting papers or presentations at the symposium will not be compensated financially, and are responsible for their own travel, accommodation and associated expenses.

Please use the online form (www.vst.edu) to indicate the paper or presentation you wish to submit.

A list of accommodations located near the VST campus will be available in the new year by contacting VST at the information below.
