Samantha is a personal development and land based learning consultant who teaches life and employability skills that are grounded by traditional values. She uses her knowledge and experience to help build bridges of new understandings.

Samantha has accepted the gift to continue the work and research on Indigenous Astronomy by her sister Sasha Doxtator who passed away in July 2021. The sharing of this work and knowledge has been referred to as medicine by many communities. This aligns with Samantha's intentions which are to heal Indigenous oppression with astronomical knowledge and original ways of knowing with the focus of nurturing intergenerational gifts, creativity, and innovation. 

This past February, Samantha presented at the world-famous Hayden Planetarium at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City and became the first presenter in history to receive a standing ovation.

Samantha Doxtator, is Haudenosaunee from Oneida Nation of the Thames and Wolf Clan.

This event is part of <a href="https://www.fieldmuseum.org/activity/native-american-heritage-month">Native American Heritage Month</a> programming, which aims to celebrate Native people and tell Native stories.

This presentation will take you on an introspective journey through Haudenosaunee Cosmology. From creation to current innovations, perseverance, restoration, the cycles of birth and death, and how they all correlate with the stars. You will experience your own connections to grief and healing, compassion, resilience, and peace. Many communities have referred to this presentation as Good Medicine. Which aligns with Samantha's intentions to help heal Indigenous oppression with astronomical knowledge and original ways of knowing. This information will light a spark inside of you, and you will want to see it again and again.
This event takes place in the A. Montgomery Ward Lecture Hall on the lower level. Registration is required.

Harmonious Tapestry of Indonesian Gamelan, Bridging Nations in Celebration of Indonesia-U.S. Relationship
In celebration of the 75th anniversary of Indonesia and the US bilateral relations, the Consulate General of the Republic of Indonesia in Chicago, in collaboration with the Field Museum and Friends of the Gamelan, presents a Gamelan Concert.
Meet a Scientist: The Gamelan: Music from Indonesia
Grainger Science Hub, 11am-1pm
Come learn about the Gamelan, a genre of ensemble instrumental music, with origins in the Indonesian regions of Bali and Java. Meet Jamie Kelly, Head of Anthropology Collections, and see a miniature gamelan model while hearing about the one the Field Museum acquired during the 1893 World's Fair.

Indonesian Gamelan Concert: Friends of the Gamelan
Stanley Field Hall, 12-2pm
For centuries, musical composers around the world have been inspired by the gongs, metal xylophones, drums, singing, and other instruments that make up Indonesia's traditional music called gamelan. This historic ensemble has played a crucial role in the cross-cultural exchange between Indonesia and the United States, and it remains a symbol of the enduring relationship between these two nations. Members of the players from Indonesia and Friends of the Gamelan brings to the Field Museum its two gamelan orchestras to showcase the extraordinarily distinct styles of music and dance from the islands of Bali and Java. Musicians' stunning synchronization and dancers' beautiful movements create a dramatic performance that will leave you feeling transported.

A group gathers at the corner of a diorama case. One man sits a desk with a typerwriter. He looks up to a family of three standing over him. The man in the middle stands with arms around the other two individuals. Both are smiling down at the man seated at the desk. A black box with a glass front holds a rock specimen and is propped up against the leg of the desk.
