Indian Program (AIP) of Cornell University announce *Making Connections;
Understanding Our Relations: An Autumn Ecoforum, *on October 23^rd and
24^th , at the Africana Studies and Research Center, 310 Triphammer Road
on the Cornell campus. / /IGSA and the AIP invite you to lovely Ithaca
at the height of autumn color for a two-day interdisciplinary forum of
discussions on ecological/environmental/indigenous connections.
Our forum is divided into three concurrent 20 person discussions held
Friday morning and afternoon and Saturday morning, for a total of nine
forum sessions. Discussions are facilitated by a group of dynamic guest
speakers representing a diverse variety of environmental fields and
concentrations.
Small discussions are meant to identify specific issues and the
challenges and problems they present and to generate possibilities and
solutions that can be applied in active ways. Conversations will engage
in the theoretical but focus on the practically applicable in education
and in real communities. Sessions will be divided by shared meals, and
each meal is accompanied by a plenary session with guest speaker
presentation.
Friday evening, there will be a film screening of /For the Next Seven
Generations: The Grandmothers Speak/ followed by discussion with film
producer Carole Hart.
The Ecoforum is *free (including meals)* to the first 60 registrants, so
please register soon! After the first 60 registrants, registration cost
is $30 for students and $50 for faculty and the general public.
Registration includes participation in three separate small group
discussions, breakfast, lunch, and dinner on Friday and breakfast and
lunch on Saturday, along with plenary sessions and guest speaker
presentations following each meal. For full guest speaker biographies,
