The 2nd annual Indigenous Climate Justice Symposium will be held on Thursday, May 4 and Friday, May 5 in The Evergreen State College's Longhouse Education and Cultural Center (10 am-4:30 pm). Its focus will be twofold–resistance to fossil fuel infrastructure, and resilience in the face of climate change, with a focus on Indigenous communities in the Pacific Northwest and beyond. The evening keynote speakers (7-9 pm) will be key leaders of Native-led alliances to stop oil pipelines: Faith Spotted Eagle on Thursday and Rueben George on Friday. The event is free and open to the public.
