The Way Forward: Indigenous Leadership for a Just Future

About this Event

“Those who know what it means to lose our world and live might have something to lend to a broader humanity that now faces its own existential crises in the form of disease and climate change.”

 

 

Join students from around the world for an interactive discussion about what Indigenous Leadership can teach us.

 

Julian Brave NoiseCat is a writer, activist, a policy wonk whose work has contributed to the Green New Deal, and a proud member of the Canim Lake Band Tsq’escen, He has thought deeply about the interwoven ecological, health, political and cultural crises we face and offers his thoughts on the critical importance of Indigenous leadership in finding a way forward to a just and caring future.

 

Julian will be in conversation with Anushay Irfan Khan to explore the importance of learning from the experiences, histories and wisdom of Indigenous, and Black and racialized communities who have been disproportionally impacted by climate change and the pandemic – to put their voices at the centre of developing the systemic change needed to move forward, and to find hope and inspiration through solidarity.

 

Don’t miss this essential opportunity for learning, conversation and connection.
