If you have problems accessing the portal\, please email us. \nPart 1 | Wetlands: Ecological & Cultural Values\nBonnie Thomas & Nancy Turner\, PhD \nIn Northwestern North America\, wetlands (bogs\, estuaries\, swamps\, ponds\, tidal marshes)\, have been fundamental habitats and biodiversity hotspots. For over 14\,000 years\, these special ecosystems have provided First Peoples of the region with important foods\, medicines\, and materials. Many of our wetlands today have deteriorated and are in serious need of restoration. We dedicate the talk to Bonnie’s late Mother\, Secwepemc knowledge keeper\, Dr. Mary Thomas\, who taught us about a key wetland in her territory: the Salmon River estuary. \nPart 2 | What is the Role and Responsibility of a Professional in Respecting Indigenous Rights?\nPeggy Smith\, PhD \nWe often think upholding Indigenous rights is the responsibility of governments\, but professionals who work in the field of lands and resources have the potential to either undermine or uphold Indigenous rights. Dr. Smith will discuss how Indigenous rights shape land management and development\, as well as the responsibilities of professionals to uphold those rights through training and practice. \nLearn more and register here.
