First Stewards 2014 Symposium
Our major goals for this symposium are threefold:
Promote and discuss how our Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) becomes a stronger part of the climate change conversation;
Explore how we as indigenous peoples can unite to have a stronger voice since our communities will disproportionately feel the impacts of climate change; and
Plan how our youth can be promoted to take the lead on this conversation in the future.

2) Recognizing Rights and Responsibilities;
