HEDCO 146
Please join us for a public lecture next Friday, March 6, 2020, by Jim Enote, a Zuni tribal member, farmer, and the CEO of the Colorado Plateau Foundation. Jim’s talk, entitled “Cultivating and Sustaining Indigenous Environments and Nations,” will draw from his decades of experience in natural and cultural resource management, museology, and tribal arts, and from his lifetime as a dryland farmer. While serving as the director of the A:shiwi A:wan Museum and Heritage Center in Zuni, NM, Jim initiated the Zuni Map Art Project, an ongoing program to “remap” Zuni lands in accordance with Zuni art practices, oral histories, and traditional ecological knowledges.
The event is free and open to the public and sponsored by Native American Studies, the Oregon Humanities Center, the Department of English, the Department of Indigenous, Race, and Ethnic Studies, the Moore Endowed Professorship, the Center for Environmental Futures, and Environmental Studies.
