Join KSU Tribal TAB and UNM’s Indigenous Design & Planning Institute for a daylong interactive session on August 20th. Participants will learn about the role of Indigenous planning in brownfields redevelopment projects through helpful storytelling, asset mapping, and land use techniques. Learning objectives include: using the five beats of Indigenous storytelling to give your place a compelling narrative; identifying georeferenced community assets and places that contribute to important values for community, planning, and brownfield projects; and using this information to inform decisions about land use. Participants will need a computer (not a tablet or phone) and internet access to participate in the hands-on activities.

We will begin by introducing ourselves and our land. Introduce yourself by telling us about the place where you are from; for this activity you can only use descriptions of the land, the rivers, forests, mountains, plants, historic and cultural places and other aspects of the place where you are or where you are from to tell us about yourself. Don't use your name or your job, use the place to tell us about who you are.

We will develop our introductions using Jamboards, and then you will use your Jamboard throughout the day for all of the activities. Click on the link in the folder for your breakout room below to access your Jamboard, double click on your Jamboard to open it online. The slide presentation on the right provides tips for how to add content to your Jamboard.

You will add photos to your Jamboard and use Google Earth Web in 3D and Street View to add screenshots of your place. Give us an idea of what is unique about your place, and tell us how your place made you who you are.

Land Use Part 1

Land Use Part 2

We will use our Jamboards to integrate our Land Use and Asset Mapping activities into our 5 beats story, then we will share examples of your work with the group. You will be able to download your Jamboards as PDF files for your own work.

Participants will brainstorm on how they can use their projects for their own work. For example, Jamboards can be downloaded as PDF files to include in project reports or proposals; the 5 beat story structure can be used to organize material to use in project presentations, proposals and reports; thinking through material for beats 1 and 5 can help expand our thinking about the relationship between a brownfield project, the community, and possible future uses of the site.
