The class worked in collaboration with the Quinault Indian Nation, the Aberdeen Revitalization Movement, and community organizations. The students were part of the Evergreen program “Resource Rebels: Environmental Justice Movements Building Hope,” which explored the intersections of environmental issues with social issues of race, class, and gender. The program was taught by myself, a geographer working in Native Studies, and Karen Gaul, an anthropologist working in Sustainability Studies. In fall quarter, the class focused on Native American environmental justice issues, and hosted the 1st annual Indigenous Climate Justice Symposium at the Evergreen Longhouse, which included Quinault Indian Nation President Fawn Sharp.
