Our first Spooner workday and community walk was a success! We finally have some good medicines in there! Wanìshi to everyone who joined us after the Climate Change & Children’s Health Symposium. Special thanks to Lori for the bologna sandwiches, chips, and drinks. And thanks to those who aren’t pictured- sorry we didn’t think to get a group photo before y’all had to head out! We’ll get ya in there next time. ❤️

Lots of exciting events going on next Spring at The University of Kansas! The KU Indigenous Studies program and our new Office of Sovereign Partnerships and Indigenous Initiatives are planning to host a few new events: 1) A professional development summit for teachers and teachers in-training (in partnership with Kansas State Department of Education); 2) A gathering of tribes in the region to find synergies with content area experts and discuss strategic directions related to building capacity and infrastructures for improving data sovereignty (and inter-agency/gov't relations); 3) A LandBack leadership summit focused on strategy, skills, and action so we might consider how to build professional capacity in these areas, and of course, the KU FNSA Powwow & Indigenous Cultures Festival!!

We're looking forward to seeing how this all evolves as we bring the details together! Stay tuned.

I wasn’t ready for this to “go live”, but I guess we’re going live. It doesn’t feel like a good day to post… but anywho, sign up is limited to 20 people! Make sure you can commit to both days, as it is a two-part class, not two separate classes. See ya soon!

Rain can't stop us! The event is going to continue. Because of the rainy weather, we will do work inside the Haskell greenhouse. Please bring a rain coat if you would like!
See you there! :)

Special thanks to Umut Bayramoglu at Common Ground for getting us these tagging kits and Courtney King at Haskell Greenhouse and Dr. Bridgett Chapin (HINU professor) for letting us borrow some butterfly nets!
