Please join the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) Office of Native American Affairs and the White House Council on Native American Affairs (WHCNAA) Climate Adaptation Subcommittee on February 8th, 3:00-4:00 pm EST for a virtual discussion on the intersection of cultural resources and sacred sites with climate change planning and response. This session is the second webinar in the WHCNAA's 2023 Tribal and Indigenous Climate Speaker Series and is designed to educate federal agency personnel about consulting and coordinating with Indian Tribes, Native Hawaiians, and other Indigenous Peoples in our combined effort to combat the climate crises.
The presenters are two leaders working on the front lines of historic preservation and climate readiness-Michael Durglo, Jr., Department Head of the Tribal Historic Preservation Department of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes, and Shasta Gaughen, Ph.D., Environmental Director and Tribal Historic Preservation Officer at the Pala Band of Mission Indians. The webinar will focus on lessons learned through their experiences in climate change adaptation planning, how their expertise in historic preservation influences that work, and how federal representatives can collaborate to remove barriers to more effective climate planning.
Please refer to the attached flyer for additional information and speaker biographies. The link to register can be found in the attached flyer and is also accessible here. Please contact Jamie Lee Marks at jmarks@achp.gov with any questions.
