Public Lands through an Indigenous Lens
In this one hour session, we will cover the unique relationships Indigenous people have with their homelands and how that relates to conservation and the management of public lands. Because Indigenous people have been on this land for thousands of years, this is a very different perspective on public lands and is critical for collaborative working relationships with Tribes.

Intensive on Indigenous Communications
In this 2.5-hour intensive on Indigenous Communications, we will answer all your possible questions related to communicating with and about Indigenous people. This session defines commonly used terms, explores how to best communicate with Indigenous people, and what to say and what not to say. The session ends with a technical writing exercise to test what we’ve learned.
