Registration required by visiting https://bit.ly/ExerciseWisdom (all ages) Join the Greater Kansas City Interfaith Council for a Kansas City Earth Festival workshop, "Embodied Knowledges at Work: Exercising Indigeneity, Indigenous Wisdom Essential for Responses to the Climate Crisis." This workshop will discuss Indigenous integrity and wisdom derived from millennia of careful mindfulness and attentiveness to place and the recognition that the land, water, air and all life on Mother Earth are relatives not resources. The workshop will explore how indigenous wisdom is essential for resilient responses to the climate crisis. The program will include presentations by Dr. Daniel Wildcat, small group discussions and their reports. Attendees will be able to visit tables with information about ways to be involved with local environmental and climate organizations. Dr. Daniel Wildcat (Yuchi, Muscogee) is a faculty member in the Indigenous and American Indian Studies program at Haskell Indian Nations University. He currently leads the NSF-funded Rising Voices, Changing Coasts Hub at Haskell and is the author and editor of several books. This workshop is part of the Climate Council of GKC's Earth Fest 2025.
