SU Hosts Discussion on Native Americans and the Environment

By SU Public Relations

SALISBURY, MD---Salisbury University’s Adventures in Ideas Humanities Seminar Series continues with “Land and Water Protectors: Native Americans and the Environment” 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday, November 2, in Conway Hall Room 179.

Native Americans’ relationships to nature long have been a source of fascination, misunderstanding and criticism for non-Indigenous people. Today, Indian peoples in North America are finding themselves on the front lines of the climate crisis, not only as victims but also as activists and solution-makers. Drs. Céline Carayon (history) and Stephanie Bernhard (English) explore the historical and contemporary dimensions of Native American environmentalisms and what they have to teach us for the future.

Sponsored by the Charles R. and Martha N. Fulton School of Liberal Arts and the Whaley Family Foundation, tickets are $30, $50 for two seminars. For tickets call 410-677-5070 or email Jenna Habermeyer. 

Those planning to park on campus must register in advance for a free parking pass.
