Building a Vocabulary for Learning in Science Communication that Foregrounds Indigenous Perspectives and Stewardship December 10, 2024 4:00-5:00 PM ET
After nearly 250 years of existence, the United States has recognized the wisdom of Indigenous Knowledges as invaluable and deeply intergenerational, place-based experiential knowledges about the environments of their homelands. At the same time, the US government has issued directives for working with Indigenous nations in cooperative stewardship. How can environmental professionals best work with Indigenous environmental professionals and educators, to communicate Indigenous perspectives in science communications, without being extractive of Indigenous Knowledges? And, how can we work together within the complicated truth that the establishment of National Parks constituted a land grab of Native peoples’ homelands? In this webinar, I will introduce resources for building a vocabulary for learning and relationship that will support Indigenous perspectives in science communications in National Parks and other public lands.
This session is being held as a training component of ESA's Science Communication in the Parks program and so will primarily be directed to SCiP Fellows, but all are welcome to attend.
