Native American wisdom is radically original in nature, a way of knowing that is irreducible to books and concepts. It rests on embodied experience lived in harmony with the natural environment in place and time.
Russell Reed (Atakapa of Louisiana), experimental archaeologist and past supervisor of American Indian field programs at the Jamestown-Yorktownand Colonial Williamsburg museums, will lead the session. Join us for a unique perspective of “the environment” as we explore and celebrate Native American traditions of interconnectedness, harmony with nature, and human well-being lived in concert with the eternal cycle of life.
The lecture is open to W&M Alumni (at a special event rate that does not require Osher membership).The lecture builds on the university’s 2025-26 “Year of the Environment” initiative.
