Center for Native Peoples & the Environment

Center for Native Peoples & the Environment The mission of the Center is to create programs that draw on both Indigenous and scientific knowledge

Our region is the home of two great intellectual traditions regarding stewardship of the earth: traditional ecological knowledge of indigenous people and scientific ecological knowledge. The mission of the SUNY-ESF Center for Native Peoples and the Environment is to create programs that draw on the wisdom of both indigenous and scientific knowledge in support of our shared goals of environmental s

ustainability. In addition to serving as a bridge between traditional ecological knowledge and western scientific approaches, the Center incorporates indigenous perspectives and knowledge for the benefit of native students and work to educate mainstream students in a cross-cultural context. The Center includes a significant outreach element focused on increasing educational opportunities for Native American students in environmental sciences, research collaborations, and partnerships with Native American communities to address local environmental problems.

Join us next week for:

Tonawanda Seneca Land Rights

Against all odds, and in spite of decades of effort by the State of New York and the United States to remove the Senecas altogether, the Tonawanda Seneca Nation has successfully fought to preserve its small, biologically diverse reservation territory and to maintain its cultural and spiritual ways. Join Christine Abrams (Tonawanda Seneca Beaver Clan) as she discusses the Nation’s history, culture, and current threats in the form of a massive industrial development along its borders.
