Speakers: Professor Ronadh Cox, Professor of Geology and Mineralogy at Williams College, and Chief Shirell Parfait-Dardar and future Chief Devon Parfait-Dardar of the Grand Caillou/Dulac band of Biloxi-Chitimacha-Choctaw

Professor Ronadh Cox, Chief Parfait-Dardar, and future Chief Devon Parfait-Dadar will discuss impacts of land loss and climate change on state-recognised tribes living at the foot of the Mississippi River delta. These people, both socially and geographically marginalized, are affected disproportionately. Homeland and heritage are being lost. Why is this happening, and what is the future of the land and its Native people?
