- Description
- On Saturday, Aug. 7 at 1:30 PM the National Museum of the American Indian will hold a symposium addressing sustainability as part of our Living Earth Festival weekend (Aug. 6--8). Native cultures have long recognized and celebrated the interrelatedness of all life on Earth. As we address environmental disasters that affect our oceans, this wisdom is more important than ever. Join us at Living Earth/Living Waters as Native and non-Native scientists, leaders, and innovators discuss the latest research on the biosphere. Gain a deeper understanding of the essential role the ocean—"the blue heart of the planet"—plays in sustaining every form of life. See how human activity is woven into this fragile web of life, and the role we all can play in restoring and preserving it for future generations. Speakers include Dr. Nancy Maynard, NASA senior research scientist and manager of NASA's Tribal College and University Project; Alberto Mellado Moreno (Comcáac), founder of a sustainable indigenous aquaculture project in Mexico; Dr. Daniel Wildcat (Yuchi/Muscogee), professor and director of the Haskell Environmental Research Studies Center; and Ma'Ko'Quah Abigail Jones (Prairie Band Potawatomi), student and climate change researcher, Haskell Indian Nations University. Moderated by José Barreiro (Taino), assistant director for research, National Museum of the American Indian.
