Summary Sentence: Native Nations and Environmental Justice: The Dakota Access Pipeline Challenge

Full Summary: Join us for a lecture examining the challenges that contemporary Native American tribes and nations face as they endeavor to rebuild their communities, strengthen their cultures, and support their citizens.

The Center for Serve-Learn-Sustain is excited to welcome Dr. Joe Kalt, Co-Director of the Harvard Project on American Indian Economic Development, for a guest lecture examining the challenges that contemporary Native American tribes and nations face as they endeavor to rebuild their communities, strengthen their cultures, and support their citizens.  This guest lecture will be followed by a facilitated panel discussion focused on the Dakota Access Pipeline project and the questions about political sovereignty, land/water rights, religious freedom, and health/social welfare that it raises.
