The Museum of Science, in partnership with Amira Madison (Aquinnah Wampanoag), Hartman Deetz (Mashpee Wampanoag) highlights the work Indigenous communities are doing to combat climate change across the United States in this seasonal conversation series. This session takes place November 16 at 7 pm. Free with preregistration at www.mos.org

Come to the William and Charlotte Bloomberg Public Science Common for an evening of powerful dialogue exploring how Indigenous knowledge and stewardship shape solutions for cleaner air and a more stable climate. We’ll dive into the role of healthy forests, wetlands, and grasslands in cleaning and cooling the air, the traditional practices, such as cultural burning, that tend the land and reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfire smoke, and the generations of observation that inform Indigenous understandings of wind, weather, and seasonal change. Together, we’ll explore how Indigenous peoples are renewing relationships between land, sky, and community.
