2021 Tribal Resilience & Indigenous Planning Virtual Workshop Series:
Putting the Pieces Together
Join KSU Tribal TAB and Partners for the Putting the Pieces Together virtual workshop, the sixth and final installment of the 2021 Tribal Resilience & Indigenous Planning Virtual Workshop Series. Throughout this series, we’ve examined several topics related to Indigenous planning and how these topics can advance brownfields’ efforts. In this final session, we will combine the topics that have been covered during the workshop series into a project roadmap that is reflective of the culture and values of your community. This roadmap will help you determine how topics and techniques shared during the workshop series can be helpful in your brownfields redevelopment projects and provide a foundation for enhancing tribal resilience through the consideration of Indigenous planning principles throughout your brownfields journey.
The Putting the Pieces Together virtual workshop will take place over two days:
Educational Session: Tuesday, November 9, 2021; 10:00 am – 12:00 pm CT
Hands-on Session: Tuesday, November 16, 2021; 10:00 am – 12:00 pm CT
