Global Developments in the Rights of Nature: Tribal Nations-April 27th, 2021
This webinar delved into the rights of nature in tribal law and governance. Frank Bibeau, Attorney for the White Earth Band of Ojibwe and with Honor the Earth, and Guy Reiter, Executive Director of Menikanaehkem, joined us as guest speakers to discuss the journey of tribal nations to protect the rights of nature, as well as the direction within the tribal communities to protect Earth as a sovereign being.
Frank and Guy are advancing the rights of nature in tribal law and governance – including Frank’s work with the White Earth Band’s “Rights of Manoomin” law, and Guy with the “Rights of the Menominee River” resolution. An on-demand version of this webinar recording is also available on YouTube.
