November 3, 2022: IRES Professional Development Seminar with Teresa (Sm’hayetsk) Ryan

Rematriation of Indigenous Forest Stewardship

Time: 12:30pm to 1:20pm

Location: Beaty Museum Theatre (2212 Main Mall)

Talk summary:

Pacific Northwest Forests have provided many amenities for thousands of years – as long as humans have inhabited these spaces. How these forests have been used over time has changed in the most recent century as Indigenous uses have been marginalized or outright displaced. Indigenous uses of the forest have been greatly misunderstood, with no small coincidence because this sentiment has expeditiously facilitated others’ uses.
The colonial dispossession of Indigenous lands and trade interrupted the ecologic and social harmony enjoyed by Indigenous people with enormous costs to them, to the natural resources, and colonial society.  Traditional governance systems were ignored with attempts to dismantle many of them to be replaced by an imposed system created under the Indian Act, and other instruments. Differences between these systems in the governance of resource use are exemplified by the disconnect of social obligations for the stewardship of resources as is found in traditional social institutions. It is these ancient social institutions in the Pacific Northwest that social reproduction transmits the Indigenous knowledge of resources and the power of law.

Dr. Teresa (Sm’hayetsk) Ryan, Ts’msyen; Indigenous Knowledge Lecturer, UBC Faculty of Forestry

Bio:

Dr. Teresa (Sm’hayetsk) Ryan (Ts’msyen; Indigenous Knowledge Lecturer, UBC Forestry) is an ecologist specializing in Indigenous stewardship of natural resources and their interdependent connections within complex adaptive systems. She works at the forefront of forestry research to reconcile Indigenous values in projects, practices, and informing policy. Teresa is investigating relationships between salmon and healthy forests and revitalizing traditional Indigenous stewardship in the Salmon Forest Project (funded by Donner Canadian Foundation). She also works on Mother Tree Project (Simard) and is exploring old growth forests in supporting biodiversity and resiliency. Visit Teresa’s TEDxBerkley talk to hear the inspiration to her journey.

 

 

See you on Nov 3 in the Beaty Museum Theatre!

You’re invited: LFS Scholar Series – Dr. Claudia Wagner-Riddle November 3

Standard

Land and Food System Scholar Series

 

Invited scholar: Dr. Claudia Wagner-Riddle

 

Hosted by:  JT Cornelis, Soil Science

 

Title: Charting a path to net-zero carbon agriculture

 

Abstract: Agriculture is a significant source of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), has a unique capacity for carbon storage and is also significantly impacted by changing temperature, and extreme climate events making it an important focus for climate change action. As a result, government and industry have set ambitious emission reduction targets for the sector. Achieving these targets requires the identification and implementation of the most promising mitigation practices for on-farm management of energy, animals, manure, soils and crops. Taking an integrated systems approach to food systems considering the inter-connectedness of various parts will be key.

 

Biography: Dr. Claudia Wagner-Riddle is a Professor in the School of Environmental Sciences, University of Guelph, Canada.  Originally from Brazil, Claudia has degrees from the University of Sao Paulo and Guelph. Claudia leads an internationally renowned research program greenhouse gas emission measurements to determine the carbon footprint of food, feed, and fuel produced by agriculture.  Claudia is the Editor-in-Chief of Agricultural and Forest Meteorology and leads a nationwide training program on Climate-Smart Soils. Claudia is Director of the North American regional chapter of the International Nitrogen Initiative and was awarded the 2020 IFA Borlaug Award of Excellence in Crop Nutrition.

Film Screening

Standard

Hello Maja,

 

I don’t know if you remember but I was one of Roy Turkington’s students in Lac Du Bois, all those years ago.

 

I write because we are putting on a film screening next week that some people in Land and Food might be interested in. Its called Transmission and examines the interface between wildlife conservation and farming and how a disease can affect both. I’ve attached some promotional materials and would love it if you could send around to a group in Land and Food connected to agricultural systems.

 

You can view the trailer here: https://filterstudios.ca/project/transmission/

 

I hope you are well.

Bill
