DESCRIPTION:Colonization is an issue of climate justice. Contrary to popular belief, 
 Indigenous Peoples leveraged immense influence on their surrounding lands, 
 fires, and waters in ways that could heal our planet today. Whether it’s 
 periodically burning grassland ecosystems with low severity fires to 
 maintain habitat for deer, buffalo, antelope, etc, or building intertidal 
 rock walls that catch sediment and warmer waters to expand clam habitat, 
 native people have a number of innovative strategies for scaling habitat 
 for edible plants and animals whom they often view as relatives.\n\nJoin us 
 for a conversation with Dr. Lyla June Johnson as she translates this 
 under-studied history to the contemporary world and highlights the 
 connection between Indigenous land ethics, carbon sequestration, 
 biodiversity augmentation, anthropogenic habitat expansion, and regional 
 ecosystem connectivity. The success of these systems is believed to be due 
 to their underlying value system of respect, reverence, responsibility and 
 reciprocity.\n\n\nFeaturing:\n\nLyla June\n\nDr. Lyla June Johnston (aka 
 Lyla June) is an Indigenous musician, scholar, and community organizer of 
 Diné (Navajo), Tsétsêhéstâhese (Cheyenne) and European lineages. Her 
 research focuses on the ways in which pre-colonial Indigenous Nations 
 gardened large regions of Turtle Island (aka the Americas) to produce 
 abundant food systems for humans and 
 non-humans.\n\nhttp://www.lylajune.com\n\n\nChairman Valentin 
 Lopez\n\nValentin Lopez is the Chairman of the Amah Mutsun Tribal Band, one 
 of three historic tribes that are recognized as Ohlone. He is Mutsun, 
 Awaswas, Chumash and Yokuts. Valentin is a Native American Advisor to the 
 University of California, Office of the President on issues related to 
 repatriation.\n\nhttp://www.amahmutsun.org\n\n\nFree and open to the 
 public.\n\n\nThis is a hybrid event, presented both in-person and

 by: Institute for Social Transformation, American Indian Resource Center, 
 and People of Color Sustainability Collective at UC Santa Cruz. This event 
 is made possible with generous support from the Kamieniecki Lecture Fund 
 Endowment.\n\n\nLand acknowledgement: The land on which we gather is the 
 unceded territory of the Awaswas-speaking Uypi Tribe. The Amah Mutsun 
 Tribal Band, comprised of the descendants of indigenous people taken to 
 missions Santa Cruz and San Juan Bautista during Spanish colonization of 
 the Central Coast, is today working hard to restore traditional stewardship 
 practices on these lands and heal from historical trauma.\n\n\nFor general
