In-person and online at 4pm ET
The event will feature Charles Sams III (Cayuse and Walla Walla), Director of the United States National Park Service; Krystal Two Bulls (Oglala Lakota and Northern Cheyenne), LANDBACKCampaign Director for NDN Collective; Kevin Washburn (Chickasaw), Dean of the University of Iowa College of Law; and will be moderated by Gerald Torres, Professor of Law and Environmental Justice at Yale School of the Environment.
The conversation will explore a number of questions including: What is the #landback movement, what has been achieved, and what is still needed to build indigenous power in US land stewardship? How can 30x30 policy goals under the Biden Administration support indigenous land rematriation goals? What are some interim policies and co-management strategies that can build indigenous power and help to write historical wrongs both locally and nationally? What are core principles and strategies environmental managers can embody as allies and accomplices in this movement?
Dinner will be provided for the first 50 in-person registrants.
