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? The Museum of Science hosts an evening of powerful dialogue exploring how Indigenous communities are leading efforts to protect land from the growing threat of wildfires. Speakers will 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 speaker series is a collaboration between the museum, Amira Madison (Aquinnah Wampanoag), Hartman Deetz (Mashpee Wampanoag), the Harvard University Native American Program, and the Salata Institute.
