About the Event:

The Museum of Science, in partnership with Amira Madison (Aquinnah Wampanoag), Hartman Deetz (Mashpee Wampanoag), and the Harvard University Native American Program, highlights the work Indigenous communities are doing to combat climate change across the United States in this new, seasonal conversation series.

Across the globe, the Land Back movement has become pivotal in restoring Indigenous control over traditional territories. What changes when Indigenous nations regain stewardship of their homelands? How does land sovereignty connect to resilient futures for all? 

Join us on Earth Day for an evening of powerful dialogue exploring how Indigenous-led land stewardship drives climate solutions. We’ll dive into the ecological impact of returning buffalo and other keystone species, the cascading effects of soil aeration and habitat restoration, and the crucial role of Indigenous agricultural practices—from seed saving to selective breeding—in supporting biodiversity in a changing climate. Together, we’ll examine how Indigenous peoples are revitalizing ecosystems and rebuilding relationships between land, species, and community.
