Environmental Possibilities Series

Join High Country Conservation Advocates and Western State's MEM program for our winter installation of the Environmental Possibilities Series on select Sundays throughout the winter at The Guild, in Crested Butte. On January 24th, Brian Bernhardt will present “Keeping It In The Ground: Lessons from Contemporary Indigenous Resistance”. Brian Bernhardt is an Assistant Professor of Politics and Government at Western State Colorado University.  In his presentation, Brian will survey contemporary resistance to fossil fuel infrastructure while highlighting the voices and actions of indigenous people. This presentation will ask: What can be learned from indigenous resistance movements about strategies, tactics and visions, and how do these examples challenge what is generally considered reasonable or possible?
