The panel will showcase Indigenous authors whose lives, strengths, and work motivate conversations of Indigenous environmental justice, decolonizing the approach to climate change, and the connection to land as a source of resiliency.
In Canada, the colonial invasion that builds over Indigenous peoples’ lives, cultures, health, economies and political self-determination, creates adverse impacts on the environment and future generations. Indigenous-based resilience can be innate, spiritual and relational to the land and environment. Come hear how merging knowledge and action together can create inspiring leaders in community.
Indigenous peoples’ concerns have not always been accommodated in research and practice, however there is a growing resurgence of reframing and decolonizing climate adaptation that aligns more with Indigenous peoples’ lived experiences and knowledge. The panel’s collaborative approach for Indigenous and non-Indigenous learners to honour relationships with the land and enhance the understanding of Indigenous stewardship and what it takes to make sustainable change.
