[PUBLIC] Fulfilling Our Ancestors’ Prayers: Indigenous Youth Rising for Climate Justice

  • Starr Foundation Hall, University Center, UL102 63 5th Avenue New York, NY, 10003 United States (map)

 

Join Indigenous Youth leaders from Not Our Native Daughters for an immersive and culturally grounded experience during NYC Climate Week.

 

This isn’t another lecture or traditional panel — this is an engagement-based gathering rooted in culture, ceremony, and conversation-led by Indigenous youth leaders from across the country to share teachings, stories, and solutions for protecting our land, water, and future.

 

Attendees will be invited to:

Experience cultural grounding through ceremonial opening, story, and traditional knowledge-sharing;

Learn directly from Indigenous youth leaders about their work and advocacy; 

Explore ancestral teachings and ecological knowledge as pathways to protecting the sacred; 

Engage in collective calls to action and discover how you can elevate Indigenous voices through collaborative efforts. 

Indigenous youth have inherited the impacts of the climate crisis, but they are also carrying forward ancestral responsibility to protect the land, water, and communities. This gathering celebrates their leadership, amplifies their voices, and invites you to stand in solidarity with their vision for a just and sustainable future.

Be part of an evening filled with culture, connection, and climate justice — where we honor the past, empower the present, and build the future together.

All students from The New School and other universities are most welcome! Please share this invite with your classmates. 

 

Presented by the Not Our Native Daughters' Indigenous Youth Voices Program in collaboration with Tishman Environment and Design Center at the New School
