What is Land Stewardship? Decolonial Strategies and Futures

Join the Climate Justice Foundations Team as we explore the importance of indigenous land stewardship. This gathering highlights key concepts like reciprocity, rematriation, and sovereignty, and invites participants to reflect on how their relationship with land, people, and plants impacts their idea of conservation, sustainability, and ecology. All are welcome, but registration is requested, and we will have a catered lunch (all diets considered).

Joining us is:
