I wanted to alert you to a very special event coming up on Thursday, March 14th at 4:30 pm EST at Cornell: "Practicing Peace for Climate Justice: Haudenosaunee Knowledge in Global Context," - the event will be of great interest to your students and faculty. The event will be LIVESTREAMED, too, so it could make for a special climate justice watch party; information here: https://www.facebook.com/events/815986682068384/ . I would greatly appreciate it if you would advertise the panel to your networks and add it to your calendar of events. Please see the blurb below and the attached flyer! Thank you! The goal of this event is to engage the Haudenosaunee Great Law of Peace as a multifaceted legal and philosophical system well suited to address the political and environmental crises of our times. This event will be an interdisciplinary conversation, engaging multiple academic departments and regional communities, geared toward a robust Indigenous-centered theorization of the practice of peace. Sotsisowah (John Mohawk) wrote in A Basic Call to Consciousness that in Haudenosaunee teachings peace is not defined as the absence of strife but rather as the active striving for universal justice. This panel event recognizes the Haudenosaunee confederacy to be the most venerable continuously functioning democratic governance system on the planet. As a response to climate change, the Great Law of Peace constitutes a provocative alternative to the presiding logics of racial capitalism, accumulation by dispossession, and endless war. The Great Law inspired the formation of liberal democracy, anchors Haudenosaunee peoples as they maintain a land base in the most powerful countries in the world, and can guide the pursuit of justice within an increasingly militarized climate crisis. The Great Law attests that peace means striving for climate justice. This is true from the West Coast where wildfires are the result of Indigenous dispossession as much as global warming, to Indigenous-led struggles against fossil fuel economies from Brazil to unceded Wet'suwet'en lands, from Standing Rock to Louisiana, from the Finger Lakes to the Vatican, and beyond. This event asserts that the Great Law has teachings for all, yet the Great Law must also be about forwarding just futures for Haudenosaunee lands and peoples, such as the Cayuga people, whose land Cornell University occupies. The panel strives to illuminate Haudenosaunee concepts of reason, power, righteousness, and the good mind as practical means for re-orienting peace in response to climate change. The event is co-hosted by Cornell University?s Reppy Institute for Peace and Conflict Studies (PACS) and the American Indian and Indigenous Studies Program (AIISP). Speakers: Kayenesenh Paul Williams, Esq., Onondaga, of Six Nations, legal scholar and Indigenous rights advocate, the author of Kayanerenk?:wa: The Great Law of Peace (2018). Agnes F. Williams, MSW, Seneca of Cattaraugus Territory, peace and environmental justice advocate, founder of the Indigenous Women?s Network and Indigenous Women?s Initiatives. Atsenhaieton Kenneth Deer, Mohawk Nation at Kahnawake, journalist and educator, Haudenosaunee representative on the Long March to Rome, a delegation and movement seeking the revocation of the Doctrine of Discovery. Wa?kerakats:te Louise McDonald, Condoled Bear Clan Mother of the Kanien?keh?:ka (Mohawk) Nation at Akwsasne, founding member of the Konon:kwe Council, a grassroots organization that develops and advances policies to end domestic violence.
