Gather. Make. Sustain: an Evening Panel Discussion Celebrating Indigenous Land-Based Practitioners
Public Welcome Free Event Program/Speaker Presentation
This is not technically a Chapter or Wild Ones event, but we wanted to share it here because it will be worthwhile and amazing. Our Chapter VP, Chris Jacobs, is planning to attend, so please see if you can find her to say hi if you are able to go as well.
Engage with NY Times Bestselling Author of Braiding Sweetgrass, Robin Wall Kimmerer (Citizen Potawatomi), Keely Curliss (Nipmuc Nation), Elizabeth James-Perry (Aquinnah Wampanoag Nation), and Rashad Young (Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation) as they join moderator Bathsheba Demuth. Enjoy the discussion regarding their work and expertise in the fields of ethnobotany (Kimmerer), seedkeeping (Curliss), fine arts (James-Perry) and language revitalization (Young). This evening is a celebration of their efforts to make meaning through art and cultural work and sustain traditional knowledge systems.
Sample Indigenous cuisine at the reception, catered by Mashpee Wampanoag Chef Sherry Pocknett, owner and executive chef of Sly Fox Den.
Supported by generous donors to the Friends of the Haffenreffer Museum and cosponsored by Native American and Indigenous Studies at Brown University.
