The 911 will host the fourth Tribal Governance Symposium
from Nov. 5-7. With a theme of “Living Tribal Stewardship,” the symposium provides
a forum to build understanding, relationships and knowledge to advance tribal self-governance.
Keynote speakers will include attorneys and indigenous scholars Elizabeth Saagiluk
Hensley and Heather Whiteman Runs Him, who will explore the connections of tribal
sovereignty, well-being, spirituality and stewardship. With guidance by elders, facilitated
conversations will include topics such as 911 Native wellness and spirituality;
land and water stewardship; tribal fish and wildlife governance; stewardship policy
and tribal governance; and climate change.
The symposium is sponsored in part by the 911 Tribal Management Program, Office of
the Vice Chancellor for Rural, Community and 911 Native Education, Tanana Chiefs
Conference, 911 Center for One Health Research, and First 911ns Institute.
