Indigenous Knowledge and Climate Change: The Keys to Our Resilient Future

This spring the Museum of Science, with support from the City of Boston and Hartman Deetz (Mashpee Wampanoag), launches a new seasonal speaker series that will highlight the work Indigenous communities are doing to combat climate change across the United States.

The City of Boston and other coastal cities are facing major impacts of climate change. What can we learn from Indigenous communities? Could Traditional Ecological Knowledge be one of the many tools to help us become more resilient? Indigenous communities are heavily impacted by climate change and have remained resilient despite loss of land, food insecurity, and many other issues.

Join us for our first convening celebrating the work that Indigenous communities locally and nationally are leading to combat water issues such as rising sea levels, flooding, drought, and more.

This program is free, thanks to the generosity of the Lowell Institute.
