The "Rights of Nature" movement aims to protect rivers, mountains, and entire ecosystems by recognizing their inherent legal rights to exist, persist, flourish, and evolve, rather than treating them as property. This radical framework has gained global momentum, spreading from tribal lands to cities and nations.

In this session, activist attorneys Frank Bibeau, Thomas Linzey, and Samantha Skenandore, moderated by Alexis Bunten, will update us on their successes and challenges in Indian Country and beyond.

Join us for a program with Oglala Lakota leader Jim Warne, co-presented by the Climate Reality Project Bay Area Chapter. Warne, an award-winning filmmaker, discusses Native American history and building relationships for climate progress.

Warne notes many Americans lack accurate Native American history knowledge, often receiving a narrow perspective despite over 550 tribes and 200 languages. He emphasizes historical inaccuracies contribute to an "ignorance by design," hindering understanding.
