In the third episode of A GREEN FUTURE, we're talking about the languages of nature with indigenous activist, acclaimed author, poet, and storyteller, Tiokasin Ghosthorse. We're talking about the importance of language in our lives, the ways that language can connect us to the world around us, and the ways that language can protect us.
A GREEN FUTURE SERIES is a 5-Part webinar series focused on climate solutions, environmental justice, and eco-feminism co-hosted by Dr. Heidi Hutner (Professor, Writer, Filmmaker, and Eco-Feminist) & Dennis Yerry (Composer, Musician, and Environmentalist).
