Do Indigenous People hold the key to climate resilience through agroecology? This webinar will explore using traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) to understand how Indigenous People see the everyday connections in a living world, and why it matters for the health and future of the planet.

About the speaker: Celeste Smith (she/her) is Oneida from Six Nations of the Grand River Territory and a seed steward, traditional agriculturalist and former professor of Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) at Niagara College. She is the Founder/Director of Cultural Seeds (culturalseeds.com) an Indigenous seed store/rematriation project and Ga Gitigemi Gamik (wewillplantlodge.com) an ecological centre on a permanent Indigenous stewarded site, where women and 2SLGBTTQQIA+ persons can (RE)learn ancestral agricultural methods lost to colonization.
