PPI: We've Been Here The Whole Time! - Using Comedy and Storytelling to combat Indigenous erasure with Joey Clift (Cowli

This PPI (Power, Privilege, and Inequity) training is eligible for Clark College’s antiracist training program.

Join Emmy and Peabody Award nominated comedian, writer and enrolled Cowlitz Indian Tribal member Joey Clift in an interactive fireside chat about his work using comedy as a tool for narrative change. From writing for hit shows like Paw Patrol (Nickelodeon), Spirit Rangers (Netflix) and Molly of Denali (PBS) to his on camera comedy seen on Smartypants (Dropout) and Gone Native (Comedy Central Digital) and in his debut satire book "We've Been Here The Whole Time! A Not So Sacred Guide to All Things Native America" (can be found at the Clark College bookstore) Joey uses comedy and storytelling as a tool to educate about Native American history, culture, and notable people. Come to learn and join the discussion about how it's possible to make an education about Indigenous history accessible, and a little bit fun.

Joining Joey on stage for a fireside chat will be Rochelle Nielsen, a proud member of the Northwestern Band of the Shoshone Nation, an accomplished artist and a dedicated adjunct professor.
