Meet Us At the River
The 2027 theme, Confluences: Stewarding Intersections of Sovereignty, Land, Water, and
Culture, asks participants to reflect on the places where stories, knowledge, communities, and
responsibilities meet. Like the joining of rivers, Confluences recognizes the relationships that
connect Indigenous peoples, lands, waters, cultures, languages, and sovereignty. AISA
welcomes proposals that explore these intersections through Indigenous languages,
research methods, teaching pedagogy, community engagement, environmental
stewardship, governance, activism, music, media, and the arts.
As AISA gathers in Sacramento for the first time, celebrating the Association’s history and
future—honoring the foundations laid by those who came before us while embracing new
partnerships and pathways forward. Let us gather to share, learn, build relationships—across
our diverse positionalities and nations—as we explore Confluences: Stewarding
Intersections of Sovereignty, Land, Water, and Culture
