LiveStream S2, Ep7: Indigenous Relationships with Water

Explore how some Indigenous/Native American tribal nations have incorporated understandings of biodiversity and conservation into their cultural worldview, traditional and non-traditional practices. Consider your relationship to the environment, how rivers and water impact your thinking and actions, and how to see water as an extension of yourself rather than ‘other’. The conversation will be led by Justin Beatty, a cultural educator of Ojibwe, Saponi, and African American descent who holds B.A. from UMass-Amherst with a concentration in Indigenous Policy, Culture, and Art. Justin is also a visual artist and well-known powwow emcee in New England.
