- Smithsonian Earth Optimism Summit Lecture by Dr. Douglas Herman
- Description
- On Earth Day, and as part of the Smithsonian Earth Optimism Summit, the museum’s senior geographer, Dr. Douglas Herman, presents an illustrated lecture titled "The Canoe, the Island and the World: Lessons in Leadership and Management from Old Hawai`i." There is ample evidence all around us that the management of human–environment relationships by the dominant society has brought huge imbalance. Doug’s presentation includes a discussion of the values of the voyaging canoe—represented by Hōkūle`a as it winds up its worldwide voyage of mālama honua (taking care of the Earth)—and lessons learned about how to live on a finite vessel, whether it is a canoe, an island, or island Earth. This lecture was recorded in the Rasmuson Theater of the National Museum of the American Indian on April 22, 2017.
