WELCOME BACK TO PLACEKNOWING – OUR PODCAST SERIES ABOUT USING INDIGENOUS DESIGN AND PLANNING METHODS TO REMEDIATE CONTAMINATED OR ABUSED LANDS CALLED BROWNFIELDS.
I’M DR. TED JOJOLA AND I’M THE FOUNDER OF INDIGENOUS DESIGN AND PLANNING INSTITUTE – OR ID+PI - BASED AT UNIVERSITY OF NEW MEXICO.
IN THIS EPISODE WE CONTINUE OUR CONVERSATION ABOUT GOLOVIN, ALASKA – A REMOTE COASTAL INUPIAT VILLAGE STRUGGLING WITH THREE BROWNFIELDS SITES – WHICH ARE MADE FAR WORSE BY THE IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE.
WE CAME TO THIS PROJECT IN 2023 THROUGH OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH THE TRIBAL TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE TO BROWNFIELDS PROGRAM - OR TRIBAL TAB. THE ORGANIZATION IS AN EPA INITIATIVE THAT PROVIDES CULTURALLY-INFORMED ASSISTANCE AND RESOURCES TO INDIGENOUS NATIONS DEALING WITH BROWNFIELDS SITES.
TODAY, WE INVITE YOU INTO OUR CONVERSATION WITH UNIVERSITY OF NEW MEXICO LANDSCAPE DESIGN PROFESSOR TONY FETTUS TO DESCRIBE WHAT WE WITNESSED WHEN WE VISITED GOLOVIN - AND OUR PROCESS FOR MOVING THIS ONGOING PROJECT FORWARD USING AN INDIGENOUS LENS AND METHODOLOGY.
MANY THANKS TO OUR PROGRAM SPONSORS – KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE TO BROWNFIELDS – AND TO OUR PRODUCTION PARTNERS – THE AUNTIES DANDELION MEDIA ORGANIZATION.
