We have a new date and location for the Climate Change Symposium (rescheduled due to Hurricane Milton).
Please mark your calendars for this incredible, free event and be sure to register at commonsforjustice.edu If you previously registered, there is no need to re-register for the new date.
The Global Indigenous Forum is proud to have been part of the Mellon-funded, Race, Risk, and Resilience: Building a Local-to-Global “Commons for Justice” Project. It is a remarkable collaborative of eight Miami communities and academic departments and programs across Florida International University. For four years, we have all worked together to discuss ways we can respond to the growing environmental crisis and to consider ways researchers can work with communities on resilient strategies.
Below are three of the featured speakers that will stand out for our Global Indigenous Forum community members:
Sammuel Tommie, Seminole Tribe of Florida, environmental advocate and musician — 10:00 - 10:45 am (Opening session)
Betty Osceola, Miccosukee Environmental Advocate 12:20-1:50pm (lunchtime featured conversation)
Kevin Cuniff, Miccosukee Water Resilience - (Change and Risk panel)
