March 6, 6:00 pm. Virtual on Zoom Delaware Valley University One Health Seminar: Global Indigenous Struggles and Climate Change Activism".

Presenter: James Fenelon, California State University-San Bernardino 
 
Indigenous peoples and nations embody worldviews and biocultural societies that nurture healthier relationships with “Mother Earth”. Indigenous survivance and resistance—often considered “activism”—(re)asserts sustainable Indigenous worlds versus a hegemonic colonial-capitalist-state system bent on accumulation, extraction and exploitation, which drives climate change. This presentation provides a global overview and regional examples of Indigenous struggles, centering Indigenous contestations over ‘Anthropocene’ crises.  All are welcome, but you must register for the Zoom Webinar event at www.delval.edu/onehealth
