Stay tuned for more information on these special events! As an experiment this year we asked all proposal submitters to identify one of five different themes that best reflected their session. Our hope was this might help everything to think beyond their immediate media and consider other possible connections. Each session on this agenda is therefore color coded: Blue indicates “Sustainable Infrastructure – Crafting Culturally and Environmentally Appropriate Programs” Orange indicates “Cultivating Capacity – Protecting Tribal Lands, Waters, and Communities” Green indicates “Interdisciplinary Approaches – Empowering Tribal Nations by Expanding the Circle” Red indicates “Collaborations and Partnerships – Successful Strategies Through Building Bridges” Purple indicates “Preserving Resources and Sovereignty – Expanding and Enriching Tribal Programs”
