"The Institute for Tribal Environmental Professionals (ITEP) is pleased and excited to convene the third Biennial National Tribal and Indigenous Climate Conference (NTICC). Our theme for this year is Shared Responsibility for Indigenous Climate Resilience.
This event will convene our relatives, partners, and colleagues from across Mother Earth to share their knowledge about their efforts to address the climate impacts on their communities, natural environment, and non-human relatives. This includes the sharing and honoring of Traditional and Indigenous Knowledges while ensuring that these knowledges belong to the Indigenous communities and people from where and who they came from."
To attend in-person register by Monday, August 19. Virtual attendees have until September 6th to register.
Of particular interest to NRFSN members, our tribal liaison and advisory board member Monique Wynecoop (along with Melinda Adams, Melanee Montano, and Frank Lake) are hosting a workshop titled “Indigenous Cultural Fire is Indigenous Climate Resilience” that will focus on returning cultural fire to communities. This workshop is for:
- Tribal members working to welcome fire back to their homelands
- Fire professionals/allies
- Natural Resource Managers
- Native youth
