 December 11 @ 5pm PSTInterpretation: Land Trusts and Indigenous Partnerships
Join adventurer, conservation writer, motivational speaker and IGA-certified interpretive guide Joanie McGuffin as she shares her 30-year journey paddling Lake Superior. This presentation has three parts.  I) Forming a land trust (the Lake Superior Watershed Conservancy) to be part of a conservation network, thereby expanding the voices (human and all other) of the Lake Superior watershed.  2) Discovering through Indigenous voices how to approach land conservation and protection differently, and 3) Our discovery of Interpretation’s magic – to make the work of LSWC more effective for positive change through our Canoes for Conservation and MetisTours tour experiences or the educational programs at our preserves.

 
 November 27 @ 4pm EST And, Not Or: Dual Knowledge Systems in a Science Exhibition - EVENT CANCELLED
In recent years, the reassertion of traditional knowledge, mātauranga Māori, in Aotearoa has led to anxiety for some that there is an intention to have it 'replace' or ‘undermine’ science. Many, however, recognise how fortunate Aotearoa/New Zealand is to have access to both knowledge systems, how they can enrich each other and therefore our understanding of the world. This presentation will explain how this has manifested in a science-centre, where kōkōrangi Māori (Māori astronomy) now sits confidently alongside astronomy. It will discuss the relationships and mahi/work that allows these two knowledge systems to confidently sit side by side, simultaneously in conflict and consilience.
