Introduction
For the second consecutive year, the University of Montana holds the conference "Reinforcing Indigenous Voices in Academia and Society ", which highlights indigenous peoples' intellectual and cultural contributions and their role in shaping linguistics and anthropology. It will also shed light on the transformations the societies that suffered from policies of occupation and obliteration of identity and culture experienced.
Within this partnership, and under the framework itself, Al-Quds Open University, in partnership with the University of Montana, holds the conference "Palestine: The Place time and cause ", which sheds light on the experience of the Palestinian people in confronting Israeli occupation policies aimed at uprooting them from their own land and replacing them with groups and individuals from all over the world.
Since 1948 and beyond, the Palestinian cause has been one of the living examples of the occupier's policies of uprooting the people from their land, obliterating their identity, stealing their cultural and intellectual properties and seeking to create distorted historical narratives to blur the Palestinians’ narrative and their entitlement to their land which is known in the humanitarian international law as "organized ethnic cleansing". The Israeli war machine did not stop their destructive policies which led to displacement of more than a million Palestinians after more than 70 massacres destroying over than 530 Palestinian villages along with their humanist, historical and civilized heritage. Moreover, the occupier’s media with their cultural tools did not stop falsifying historical facts and changing cultural properties.
Since it is important to develop a comprehensive strategy to confront the Zionist Movement, its colonial project and its racist settlement policy against the Palestinian people, this conference seeks to present a sketch of the Palestinian people struggle to stabilize their identity, culture and narrative, and to raise the voice of academics and intellectuals in the global academia milieus.
