Indigenous Environmental Justice for Our Waterways
Sat 3/22 @ 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm EDT
Part of the One Shared Earth film series, Swimming Upstream: Indigenous Environmental Justice for Our Waterways explores the past, present, and future of the Great Bay Estuary on the Seacoast of Maine and New Hampshire. Join the Indigenous Peoples of this land as they introduce us to the River Herring, a once abundant species which is now under threat.
In times of great change, we need stories that offer paths of inspiration and action.
Join us for a film series featuring examples of people working in partnership with nature, including drawing from the wisdom of Indigenous peoples and traditions. We can discover the courage and creativity that comes from seeing ourselves as part of a living earth, rather than separate from nature.
Each evening includes:
- Time to tour an art show about One Shared Earth, with over 80 pieces of visual art, poetry, and sculpture.
- A film exploring one aspect of these themes, e.g., through food, waterways, and land.
- An opportunity to discuss the film in small group conversations and get connected with local organizations working on these issues.
This event is free to attend. Registration is encouraged but not required.
