DESCRIPTION:Despite the undeniable fact that Indigenous communities are among the most 
 affected by climate devastation, Indigenous science is very rarely found in 
 mainstream environmental policy or discourse. While holistic land, water, 
 and forest management practices born from a millennia of Indigenous 
 knowledge systems have much to teach all of us, Indigenous science has long 
 been ignored, otherized, or perceived as "soft"-the product of a 
 systematic, centuries-long campaign of racism, colonialism, extractive 
 capitalism, and delegitimization. \n \nJessica Hernandez (Maya Ch'orti' and 
 Zapotec), environmental scientist and founder of environmental agency Pina 
 Soul, introduces and contextualizes Indigenous environmental knowledge and 
 proposes a vision of land stewardship that heals rather than displaces and 
 generates rather than destroys. She breaks down the failures of 
 western-defined conservatism and shares alternatives-citing the restoration 
 work of urban Indigenous people in Seattle, her family's fight against 
 ecoterrorism in Latin America, and holistic land management approaches of 
 Indigenous groups across the continent. \n \nIn Dr. Hernandez's latest 
 book, Fresh Banana Leaves: Healing Indigenous Landscapes through Indigenous 
 Science, she breaks down why western conservationism isn't working and 
 offers Indigenous models informed by case studies, personal stories, and 
 family histories that center the voices of Latin American women and land 
 protectors. \n\nJoin Dr. Hernandez in a conversation about her life and 
 work and explore how to stop the eco-colonialism ravaging Indigenous lands 
 to restore our relationship with Earth to one of harmony and 
 respect.\n\nFree, suggested donation of $10.\n
