Indigenous Knowledge and Climate Change: The Keys to Our Resilient Future

The city of Boston and other coastal cities are facing major impacts of climate change. What can we learn from Indigenous communities? Could Traditional Ecological Knowledge be one of the many tools to help us become more resilient?

Join us for an evening of powerful dialogue exploring how Indigenous communities—locally and across the nation—are leading efforts to protect land from the growing threat of wildfires. We’ll delve into traditional and contemporary fire management practices, the deep-rooted relationship between fire and land, and what it means to be human in the face of climate change.

This event is part of Harvard Climate Action Week, a university-wide initiative bringing together scholars, leaders, and community members to advance solutions to the global climate crisis.

This program is free, thanks to the generosity of the Lowell Institute.
