Flaming with the Halloween spirit and want to crawl away from courses? Rest from academic studies is good for the brain! Take a midafternoon break at the Labriola Center and join in on the Halloween fun with a movie screening of Blood Quantum, where the dead come back to life outside the isolated Mi'kmaq reserve of Red Crow, except for its Indigenous inhabitants who are strangely immune to the zombie plague.

"Somatic healing happens when weaving." In partnership with the Heard Museum, the Labriola Center will be co-hosting a basketmaking workshop series in late October to early November.
Baskets as Data Carriers: some themes discussed will be imagining baskets as ancestral computers, where complex geometric plaiting or twining patterns act as binary code or stored historical algorithms. Under the guidance of a traditional basketmaker and weaver, participants will create a small woven piece and learn the history of weaving from the weavers. Weavers for this series are August Wood (Salt River) and Joshua Yazzie (Salt River). Materials and tools for the basketmaking workshops are provided.

Registration links are in our LinkTree or can be found on our website.

Workshop series dates:
Part Three - Wednesday, November 4, 2026, 6 - 8:30 p.m.
Part Three - Thursday, November 5, 2026, 6 - 8:30 p.m.

Yesterday, the Labriola team outline our kinship framework and approach with a number of Tribal librarians. Kinship is at the center of our work and drives how we create a safe community for and with the Indigenous students at ASU. We are always grateful for the students, especially our student workes, for supporting and trusting us to create that community.

Come listen and learn from the three authors of Significant Impact, Ophelia Rivas from Tohono O'odham Nation of Ali Jeg'k village, Caitlin Blanchfield from Cornell University, New York and Nina Kolowratnik from Ghent University, Belgium about their newly released book!

Book Synopsis:

A collaboration between O'odham Elder Ophelia Rivas, human rights scholar Nina Valerie Kolowratnik, and architectural historian Caitlin Blanchfield, the book advocates against militarized infrastructures on Indigenous lands and challenges common protocols of environmental review, along with the Western frameworks of scientific classification and property embedded in them. The project makes visible the impact of surveillance when considered through Indigenous sovereignty and an O'odham epistemology of land. It offers a visual language that is sensitive to secrecy protocols within Traditional Knowledge and that challenges the colonial biases of Western cartography.

The book situates current surveillance infrastructure projects on the Tohono O'odham Nation within a longer history of settler colonialism and border militarization, and reflects on the role of environmental review within the politics of protection in Indigenous lands.

Join the Labriola Center for a book club that discusses Anna Lee Walter's novel Ghost Singer, on Sunday, October 25, 2026. This is a virtual event from 10 a.m. to noon.

Book synopsis:
"Kidnapping and murder on a slave raid to Navajo country in 1830 sets the stage for this mystery/thriller that spans nearly a century and a half. Moving between the Four Corners area, Oklahoma and Washington, D.C., this well-researched and well-written tale interweaves elements of traditional Navajo beliefs and history, anthropological collections at the Smithsonian, ghosts of long-dead Navajos never allowed to rest, and the struggles of present-day Native Americans and Anglos to understand traditional belief systems."
