81) Building Relationships with Land and Water: Indigenous Lessons from TEK. Speaker
Ecological Landscaping Alliance: Regenerative Solutions for Resilient Landscapes Conference: Theme Culture Change
When: November 9, 2023
Where: Longwood Gardens, PA
Culture is an aspect of our daily lives that is often taken for granted, but which permeates almost everything we do. Families, workplaces, virtual and lived-in communities all have distinct cultures which come to bear on the beliefs, language use, choices, and behaviors of individuals and groups.
This year, the theme for ELA’s Regenerative Solutions for Resilient Landscapes (R&R) Conference will be Changing Culture. With this theme, speakers and attendees will explore what it means to live and work within the dynamic culture of the ecological landscape profession.
Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) is not a stagnant form of data to be consumed, but an ever-evolving way of living. The Yurok Tribe has recognized the Klamath River as having personhood, and therefore is able to protect it legally when facing harm. Yet, this belief is based in a understanding of the natural world not as life-less beings that are there for human consumption and economic gain, but a part of the community of one’s life.
Learn how Indigenous values around TEK can be applied to your own gardens and lives as Brook Thompson, a Yurok Tribal member talks about her own lived experiences growing up on the Yurok reservation and how she has seen the largest salmon kill in west coast history to the removal of several dams on the Klamath River. If you are interested in how to reframe your understanding of the natural world in ways that may be mutually beneficial to you and your surrounding ecosystem, then this session is for you. This session will cover the basics of TEK, how TEK differs from local knowledge, how to support local tribes with gardens, and in what ways can anecdotal teachings of Brook’s life growing up on the Yurok reservation be applied to everyday understandings of gardening and even life.

Miss Thompson will also be answering questions on how she plans to incorporate Indigenous knowledge into academia and see its role in the future of California.
79) Rachel Carson College Plenary Lecture Evenet, Speaker
University of California Santa Cruz
When: October 17, 2023
Where: UCSC Rachel Carson College, CA
UCSC sits on unceded Amah Mutsun land. “California” was shaped and managed by indigenous inhabitants, then transmogrified through invasion and conquest. There is no primordial natural environment; California’s environment results from a history of human relationships with place. Join us as we examine the history and the
future of indigenous land stewardship in California through a social and environmental justice framework.
78) Colonialism and the Connection to Food through Water, Speaker
Oregon Food Bank
When: September 21, 2023
Where: Online
Oregon Food Bank’s Speaker Series titled The True Story of Hunger was created in alignment with our 10 year vision. Our vision is to lift stories and narratives that fundamentally shift common understanding of food insecurity, its root causes, and the actions needed to end hunger for good.
In our 23/24 series, entailing four quarterly presentations, participants will hear voices and stories from our equity constituencies- Black, Indigenous and People of Color, Immigrants & Refugees, Single Mothers & Caregivers, and Trans & Gender- nonconforming individuals. The topics will range from food sovereignty, gender justice and its intersectionality of single motherhood and disability justice, and local and federal legislative efforts to address systemic oppression.
Each session will further build our critical consciousness through weaving each story through the Rupa Mayra’s framework that we use to guide our work. This framework allows us to clearly see the connections between colonialism, supremacism, and capitalism in our past and present day. These connections reveal the drivers of hunger as they show up through practices, laws, and policies that create trauma and inflammation through our spirit, mind, and body generationally.
77) Klamath Connections Freshman Orientation Program, Keynote
Cal Poly Humboldt
When: August 15, 2023

76) Why We Should Acknowledge Traditional Indigenous Knowledge, Speaker
Science on Tap Weaverville
When: July 26, 2023
Where: Trinity River Brewing Company
Description: Indigenous Knowledge is a term used to refer to the large body of local knowledge
held by Indigenous people. The people who lived on the land for thousands of years did not just
accidentally survive on the land but used advanced systems and understandings to thrive
through close testing and monitoring. Many of these practices, from controlled burns to fishing
management techniques, can be utilized to benefit and advance conservation efforts. So why
aren’t they? Learn about the California history of California Natives' knowledge suppression and
why it is more important now than ever that we listen to local tribes on restoration efforts at
this Science on Tap event.
75) Land Rush to Land Back: Legacies of Allotment and Indigenous Resistance, Panelist
Native Governance Center
When: June 21, 2023
Where: Online
Website: https://www.facebook.com/nativegov
Description: "Many Native nations control just a small percentage of their original land base. Rather than Tribal governments and individual Tribal citizens stewarding and carrying out their vision for the land, we instead see big ag, vacation homeowners, the United States Forest Service, and others making decisions. The United States Government stole more than 90 million acres of Indigenous land during the Allotment Era. In our virtual event, "Land Rush to Land Back," we examine allotment's history and modern-day implications for Native nations. We also highlight ongoing Indigenous resistance and the strategies Native nations are using to fight back."

using her experience as a civil engineer, Thompson teaches lessons on why we should consider.
Shifting our perspective about water and fish to a more traditional one and how that shift can
benefit future research and California policy.

What does it mean to be neurodivergent (ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia, etc.)? How can I know for sure? What are the benefits and adversities of being neurodivergent? How does it affect higher education and work? How can I support my friends who are neurodivergent? What resources are there to help me?
After downloading TikTok at the start of the pandemic, my For You Page (FYP) started coming up with tips and memes for people with autism and ADHD. I had a close friend of mine download TikTok and have the same thing happen. Often people of color and women are undiagnosed compared to their white counterparts.
I was diagnosed with dyslexia in 3rd grade, and despite reading slower than 99% of the U.S. population, I took A.P. English classes in high school and have had multiple national magazine articles published. However, I also struggled on assignments to the point of tears when writing and reading for the same assignment came naturally to other students.

The event will bring together Indigenous leaders from across the globe to discuss the following:
1. How has the climate crisis uniquely affected Indigenous communities?
2. In what ways does an "Indigenous" approach to the climate crisis differ from non-Indigenous approaches? How does this differ across regions and communities?
3. What are examples of impactful activism by Indigenous writers, activists, government leaders, and youth? What can students and the broader HKS community learn from these examples?"
