The Aoki Center invites you to the screening of the documentary film The Genízaro Experience: Shadows in Light. This film explores the origins of Indigenous slavery and the history of an Indigenous group known as Genízaros (Heh-nee-sah-ros). It investigates duality in the human condition and related themes, including cultural hybridity, equality, genetic genealogy, and tribal recognition.

Followed by a discussion with Dr. Andrés Reséndez, an expert on European exploration and colonization of the Americas, the U.S.-Mexico border region, and the early history of the Pacific.
