Yurok fisherman and tribal leader Sammy Gensaw and environmental scientist-turned-activist Craig Tucker share the epic story of how Indigenous leadership and non-Indian allyship made the impossible inevitable: the biggest-ever dam removal and salmon restoration in history. It represented a literal watershed moment; unprecedented co-equal decision-making between the tribes and their historical nemesis – the US government. Once complete in 2024, the project will liberate the Klamath river and several tributaries to once again run free across 400-miles from Oregon through California and into the Pacific Ocean. Featuring Sammy Gensaw (Yurok) is the Founding Director of the Ancestral Guard (https://naturerightscouncil.org/ancestral-guard) , Artist, Yurok Language Speaker, Singer, Writer, Cultural/Political/Environmental Activist, Regalia Maker, Mediator, Youth Leader & Fisherman. Craig Tucker has 20+ years of advocacy and activism experience, especially working with tribal members, fishermen and farmers in the Klamath Basin on dam removal, traditional fire management, gold mining, and water policy, and is the founder and Principal of Suits and Signs Consulting (https://suitsandsigns.com/) .

In this episode, award-winning lawyer and climate justice organizer Colette Pichon-Battle lays out a bold vision for a new organizing project designed to model bioregional democratic climate action. The aim is to transform the Gulf South and Appalachia away from the lethal matrix of fossil fuel extraction and extractive economics. Instead, the regional vision is for a regenerative future of clean energy democracy, and an equitable, inclusive economy. Featuring Colette Pichon Battle, a generational native of Bayou Liberty, Louisiana, is an award-winning lawyer and prominent climate justice organizer. After 17 years leading the Gulf Coast Center for Law and Policy, she co-founded Taproot Earth (https://www.taproot.earth/en) to create connections and power across issues, movements, and geographies.

Dr. Shane Gero, a visionary marine biologist, is angling to crack the code of sperm whale communication. His mind-bending research is transforming what we thought we knew about these ancient leviathans. It’s calling on us to embrace the reality that perhaps we’ve long suspected: Sperm whales are living meaningful, intelligent and complex lives whose cultures suggest that whales are people too. What can whale culture teach us, and can deep listening help us learn to coexist respectfully in kinship with these guardians of the deep? Featuring Shane Gero, Ph.D., is a Canadian whale biologist, Scientist-in-Residence at Ottawa’s Carleton University, and a National Geographic Explorer. He is the founder of The Dominica Sperm Whale Project (http://www.thespermwhaleproject.org/)  and the Biology Lead for Project CETI (https://www.projectceti.org/) . His science appears in numerous magazines, books, and television; and most recently was the basis for the Emmy Award winning series, Secrets of the Whales.

NHI Speaker Series Presents The Brothers Boutelou and the Grass they Barely Knew: A Journey into Botany, History, Exploration, and Two Remarkable Men with Debbie DeWolf Allen Botanical names can be challenging to pronounce and to spell, yet they hold a treasure trove of meaning. Latin plant names often describe a distinctive characteristic of the plant, but sometimes they honor a person: some mysterious unknown figure from the past who must have some importance in the botanical world. In this special NHI Speaker Series talk by Prescott’s own Debbie Allen, we delve into the origin of the name of Blue Grama Grass, Bouteloua gracilis. Blue Grama is native to the southwest, and is charming, distinctive, and easy to identify. The origin of the genus name, Bouteloua, takes us back to a tale that intertwines two Spanish gardeners from the late 1700’s, an enlightened king of Spain, an expedition to explore the New World, and some amazing botanical drawings that were lost for almost 200 years. Come take a fascinating journey that encompasses botany, history, exploration, and the tale of two remarkable men. Bio Debbie DeWolf Allen has always loved nature. She majored in geology in college and fell in love with the wide-open spaces of the west at geology field camp in Montana. She has been certified as a Master Gardener in Harris County, Texas, and Yavapai County, Arizona. She recently released a field guide to local grasses called Common Grasses of the Central Arizona Highlands, available at the Natural History Institute.

This short video highlights regenerative ranchers and farmers who are bringing life back to working landscapes by mimicking the creative forces of nature. Regenerative agricultural practices draw down atmospheric carbon and sequester it in the soil where it boosts fertility and nurtures biodiversity, making this approach to agriculture a key solution to mitigating climate change. Featuring: Donika Markegard, Markegard Family Grass Fed; Elizabeth and Paul Kaiser, Singing Frog Farms; Tim LaSalle, Center for Regenerative Agriculture & Resilient Systems - CSU, Chico.

What is happening with tar sands, Bakken and other major Midwest oil pipelines, and what can be done to defeat them? For over a decade the climate justice movement has been fighting to prevent the construction and use of major tar sands, Bakken and other oil pipelines in the Midwest: Keystone XL, Dakota Access, Line 3 in Minnesota and Line 5 in Michigan. All of those projects have faced and continue to face grassroots resistance and legal actions which have had an impact. Now, with a new Biden-Harris administration replacing the Trump-Pence administration next month, and with the climate issue an explicit priority of that administration, activists engaged in these fights are gearing up to pressure President-elect Biden and Vice President-elect Harris to match their words with deeds. We are pleased to have as our presenters Joye Braun of the Indigenous Environmental Network and Jane Kleeb of Bold Nebraska and Bold Alliance.
