Chesley Lectureship in Environmental Stud ies by Dr. Jessica Hernandez: Fresh Roots\, Rising Waters: Indigenous Scie nce as the Blueprint for Climate Justice TRANSP:TRANSPARENT LOCATION:Olin 149 DESCRIPTION:
\n
\n
For generations\, Indigenous science has be en dismissed as folklore rather than recognized as rigorous\, land-based k nowledge accumulated through direct relationship with ecosystems. Dr. Jess ica Hernandez (Maya Ch'orti' &\; Binnizá) draws on her work as founder of Earth Daughters and author of Fresh Banana Leaves and  Growing Papaya Trees to reframe the climate conversation: colonialism didn't just displace Indigenous peoples from their lands\, it displaced t heir knowledge systems from the institutions now scrambling to solve the c risis those systems could have prevented. This keynote traces the throughl ine from ecological healing to climate displacement\, and makes the case t hat climate justice is inseparable from Indigenous sovereignty\; over land \, over research\, and over the frameworks we use to define what counts as science.
