Philosophy Walk: Re-Indigenizing Public Lands

October 13 @ 10:00 am - 1:00 pm MDT

Free

Walk Details

In this walk led by Dr. Shane Doyle (Apsáalooke nation) we’ll reflect on the significance of public lands as both the nexus point & the dividing line between ancient ways of life and the post-colonial world.  Some of the questions we’ll consider together include:

  • Public lands belong to everyone, and no one; how do we most appropriately honor those lands in perpetuity? And what variables should be considered when thinking about how best to protect (all or parts of) those landscapes?
  • Did wilderness exist before white people came to Montana, and if it didn’t, how would we know? 
  • How do Tribal oral traditions inform our understanding of wilderness from an Indigenous perspective?

When & Where

This philosophy walk will be led by guest scholar Shane M. Doyle.
