Brownfields: Land Restoration Using Traditional Foods, Plants, and Culture:
This course will provide Tribal environmental professionals with four examples of how Tribes have incorporated traditional food, plants, and culture into their restoration work on contaminated lands. All four presentations demonstrate how creativity and insight can feed vision, partnerships, and funding opportunities. The fifth presentation covers some of the free technical assistance available to Tribes who are looking to pursue Brownfields funding. Course activities are paired with the presentations to encourage course participants to consider what the priorities are for their Tribe regarding traditional food, plants, and culture in their land revitalization efforts, what funding sources and partnerships might help support their priorities, and where to find technical support for their Brownfields work.
