Native American Heritage Month Presents, Another Pandemic in Indian Country: Water & the Navajo Nation

Speaker: Dr. Andrew Curle (Diné) Professor of Geography at University of Arizona

This event is part of the Climate Change, COVID, and Indigenous Resilience Speaker Series.

Dr. Andrew Curely (Diné), Professor of Geography at University of Arizona will speak to the relationship between water and covid-19 on the Navajo Nation. He will share his research which “focuses on the everyday incorporation of Indigenous nations into colonial economies. Building on ethnographic research, my publications speak to how Indigenous communities understand coal, energy, land, water, infrastructure, and development in an era of energy transition and climate change,” followed by a Q&A.
