Interconnectedness of People and Place: Botany of Nations & the California Native Homeland Festival

Monday, September 8, 2025

1:15 PM - 2:15 PM US PT

Location: 2005

Two projects featuring native cultural practices grounded in local knowledges and co-created with indigenous partners enable us to consider the future of Western-Indigenous collaboration at science museums through "two-eyed seeing," a term coined by Indigenous scholars to describe approaching science through both Western and Indigenous lenses.
