SUMMARY:From (Conservation) Intervention to Inter-relationship Panel Discussion
UID:641790@northwestern.edu
TZID:America/Chicago
DESCRIPTION:This conversation brings together a dynamic group of leaders – Dr. Pilar Gauthier (Director of Strategic Development\, Medicine Fish)\, Bryant Waupoose Jr. (Founder/Executive Director\, Medicine Fish)\, and Cody Considine (The Nature Conservancy) – to explore how buffalo restoration is sparking an evolution that moves conservation from a practice of intervention to one of relationship. The dialogue traces the development of Medicine Fish as a tribal-led\, youth-centered\, land-based initiative.  Through partnerships and lived experience\, Pilar\, Bryant\, and Cody examine how restoration efforts are reshaping relationships between people\, land\, and institutions. Together\, they highlight the reciprocal nature of relationships between tribal communities and conservation organizations\, such as The Nature Conservancy\, and show how these relationships can deepen what it means to be a good ally\, toward a model that is relationally accountable\, humble\, curious\, and willing to change. They leave space for and give particular attention to Indigenous youth\, whose voices and pathways reflect the deeper and long-term impacts of this work on identity\, belonging\, and wellness.  Through this conversation\, participants will leave with inspiration and practical insights for building meaningful\, reciprocal partnerships that center local priorities and extend beyond the confines of “conservation” into a more relational\, accountable practice. Attendees will also gain a clearer understanding of how to support Indigenous youth-led initiatives and serve as effective allies within conservation efforts.  -------------------------  *We will host these speakers for a Welcome Breakfast on Friday\, April 24 at CNAIR from 9-10:30am.  There will also be times available for individual and small group meetings over the two days.
