The Heravi Peace Institute presents a lecture by Darren Perry:
The Earth Still Remembers Us: Indigenous Teachings on Hope, Character, and Climate Resilience
In a time of unprecedented ecological change, Indigenous worldviews remind us that the Earth is not a resource, it is a relative that remembers our songs, our stories, and our responsibilities. This keynote explores how Indigenous knowledge systems cultivate the moral character and relational ethics essential for climate resilience and peacebuilding. Drawing on teachings of reciprocity, humility, and gratitude, Darren Parry shares how ancestral wisdom offers pathways to restore balance between people and planet.
Through stories from the Shoshone tradition and contemporary examples of land stewardship, he will illustrate how hope is not a passive emotion but an active practice rooted in relationship. When we live with respect and responsibility, we remember who we are—and in doing so, the Earth remembers us too.

Ecology Center Seminar with Dr. Lauren Ponisio

Conference/Seminar

Dr. Lauren Ponisio will be joining us from the Department of Biology at the University of Oregon. Wednesday 12/10 @ 4 pm in BNR 102: From pollination to overcompensation: How sublethal herbicide drift alters plant traits, fitness, and ecological interactions Thursday 12/11 @ 4 pm in BNR 102: Moderated Discussion   About Dr. Ponisio: The Ponisio lab focuses on understanding how species interactions maintain species diversity and how we can harness these processes to manage and restore diversity in human-modified habitats. Understanding the processes that maintain diversity can help to predict population and community vulnerability to global change. The first core ecological theme of our work is to study community assembly through the lens of species interactions, examining how mutualistic and parasitic relationships shape and are shaped by community characteristics. The second core theme is to examine how species interactions affect the vulnerability of populations and communities to global change. A new direction in my research focuses on developing non-lethal bee monitoring techniques using automated sensor systems and computer vision.

Community Art Day

Arts/Entertainment

You're invited to NEHMA’s Community Art Days! Join us at the Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art for a fun and meaningful craft activity based on the art in the museum. Community Art Day is fun for all ages. We encourage all to participate and express themselves through creativity and connecting with art.

The Intermountain Indian School in Brigham City, Utah was a boarding school that housed many Native American students. Students were a long way from home for long periods of time and missed their families and culture. They were given permission and paint by teachers to paint their meanings of home and culture on the walls. The Holy Beings is a student’s painting that shows three indigenous cultural symbols. Each one includes feathers for texture and to represent a connection to the creator. Each figure also features a colorful image of the student’s home or a part of it. Just like these students made art that reminded them of home, you can create your own felt ornament using thread and decorations to make something special to display in your home.
