Shannon Rivers

4:00 pm — 5:30 pm (online)

Join Shannon Rivers, Akimel O’otham, for an exposé on the climate crisis from a committed and visionary Indigenous leader. Each tUrn week, Shannon offers perspectives on our moral responsibility in the face of eco-terrorism and predatory capitalism.

Learn about the renewable communal power of shifting from a merely felt or emotive allyship with Indigenous-led efforts to hands on, embodied advocacy, and what our relationship to light could mean for solving the climate crisis.

Shannon Rivers, Akimel O'otham, shares his broadening insights and wisdom about climate advocacy amidst generational and extractional warfare and colonialization performed against people, land, law, and a livable climate.

tUrn week Indigenous Keynote co-presented by Office of Campus Climate and Belonging, de Saisset Museum, and NACC / Native American Coalition for Change
