Description:

What does it mean to live well with the Earth in the face of climate and ecological crisis? What does a self-determined climate future look like for Indigenous communities and peoples who have persisted despite centuries of colonization and environmental upheaval?

Professor Deborah McGregor joins us for this year's D'Arcy McNickle Distinguished Lecture to address Indigenous climate change futures that have been envisioned and generated by Elders, community knowledge holders, and the Indigenous Studies academic community.

McGregor will also explore how we can learn from the past through storywork that may inform our collective and sustainable future.

This series celebrates Indigenous scholars, writers, and artists who consistently demonstrate excellence in their work concerning Indigenous peoples and histories in addition to actively addressing contemporary issues faced by American Indian and Indigenous communities.

 

This program is free an open to all, and will be held virtually on Zoom.
