Rights of Nature, Indigenous and Advocacy Perspectives
Rights of Nature, Indigenous and Advocacy Perspectives
Please join us Tuesday, September 19th to hear Indigenous leaders, Amelia and Joaquin Marchand, whose efforts are amplifying the value of, and advocating for the protection of natural systems in the context of First Foods and Indigenous traditions. Both will discuss the connections of culture to First Foods, ecological relationships with place through personal experiences, discuss the impacts of climate change, and ways in which Indigenous sovereignty is tied to relationships with the environment. These discussions provide the values and foundations that underlie any discussion of affording legal rights to living systems. Come in person or join remotely for presentations and a question/answer session.
