She wrote her doctoral dissertation on Native American designers of high fashion, a project that would steer her towards a lifelong journey of supporting, promoting, and working with Native American artists. In 2009, she launched the Beyond Buckskin blog in an effort to share her research online with people outside of academia.

M\u00fcller<\/strong> (He\/Him\/His) is a native Hawaiian actor, writer, and performer from the Big Island of Hawai\u02bbi. Raised in the more rural area of Waimea in north Hawai\u02bbi island in a multi-ethnic community rooted in Hawaiian culture and values, Kal\u0101 combines his heritage with his artistry to prick the social conscious of the theater-going audiences of the Oahu community. With a strong background in acting based on Meisner technique and studying the ideals of Stanislavski, Kal\u0101 draws upon a western foundation to teach performance techniques and offer new avenues of exploration using the frame of time-honored American methods of acting. As a graduate student, Kal\u0101 was involved with the East-West Center, a US-based institution focused on the promotion of better relations and understanding among the people of the United States, the Pacific, Asia and the rest of the world through cooperative study, research, and dialogue. Getting to expand his perspective through dialogue with a diverse and worldly community hailing from all parts of the globe as a part of the East-West Center expanded his understanding of what issues are relevant to international communities of this generation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As an activity coordinator for <em>The Exchange, <\/em>a lecture and performance-based institution through the East-West Center\u2019s Education program, Kal\u0101 was tasked with bringing a series of guest speakers and performers to the events hosted with the goal of giving a litany of people space to share their expertise and cultural perspective on their own work, and bring home these lessons through interactive programming for the 120 attendees to connect their own experiences and backgrounds to those of the speakers. Kal\u0101 hopes to use these experiences to add further depth to his teaching methodologies and help more communities facing adversity and strife to express their struggles through the avenue of performance and creative expression, whether that be through acting or writing. Giving more disenfranchised people agency and voice to express themselves is his primary motivator as an artist; this is a pillar of his own teaching pedagogy, and the way he approaches sharing his skills and passion with the world.<\/p>\n\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"card simple\" >\n    <div class=\"card-header relative\" id=\"heading-1061605891\">\n        <div class=\"d-flex justify-content-between\">\n            <h5 class=\"mb-0\">Carlos Rivera (Nahuatl, Mixteco)<\/h5><button class=\"btn-link\" type=\"button\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#collapse-1061605891\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"collapse-1061605891\"><\/button>\n        <\/div>\n\n        <a href=\"javascript:;\" class=\"cover_link\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#collapse-1061605891\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"collapse-1061605891\" aria-label=\"Toggle\"><\/a>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div id=\"collapse-1061605891\" class=\"collapse \" aria-labelledby=\"heading-1061605891\" data-parent=\"#accordionExample\">\n        <div class=\"card-body\">\n            \n\n<p><strong>Dance Workshop<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Body + Spirit = A Land Connection<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A dance workshop based on traditional Indigenous dance concepts complement with stage and contemporary dance techniques.
