Panelists from across the Great Lakes Bioregion will discuss how to unite across borders and advocate for the Rights of the connecting Waters that bring life to all. Coming from different fields of expertise, including environmental management, freshwater science, and Indigenous Methodologies, the speakers will address the intricacies of the geopolitical interests that partition the Great Lakes. Together they will grapple with the settler colonial constructs that treat this Bioregion as a mere resource, and will contemplate the implications of granting legal enforceable rights to the Great Lakes' ecosystems.
