Seeking Climate Justice: Lessons from the First Nations

Fiona Anderson will interview Tessa Bailey, a Tlingit First Nations Matriarch, about the myriad ways in which her people are already suffering from the climate crisis, examining how the overlap of discrimination, poverty and degraded living environments have intensified its effects on indigenous people. We shall be exploring how to acknowledge with both humility and sorrow that we are now all as lost as each other, and to discover if there is a way we can reconnect with the wisdom and knowledge of First Nations peoples, whose voices have gone unheard for too long. The breakouts will give participants time to reflect on what has been lost and what needs to be found, and to discuss actions we can each take to reconnect with our ancestral knowledge.
