Zahner Lecture Series at Highlands Nature Center
2025-06-12 18:00 | Highlands Nature Center, 930 Horse Cove Rd, Highlands, NC, 28741
Healthy Land, Healthy People: Centering Indigenous Voices in Conservation with Bonnie Claxton (Chickasaw) Deputy Director, The Center for Native Health
The health of the land and the health of the people are deeply interconnected—a truth long understood by Indigenous communities. Yet, conservation efforts often overlook Native voices, traditional ecological knowledge, and Indigenous-led solutions. This talk will explore the importance of Indigenous leadership in environmental stewardship and offer practical ways for non-Indigenous allies to support and uplift these efforts. Through insights from the Center for Native Health’s Land & Wellness Program, we will discuss the role of land-based healing, policy, and community-driven solutions in restoring balance between people and place.
Sponsored by Diane Lennox & Paul Manos, Janet & Scott Clarke, Richard Yow, and Liz Sargent.
