The Sustainable Development Institute at College of Menominee Nation will
host the conference: Sharing
Indigenous Wisdom: An International Dialogue on
Sustainable Development. The conference design will
bring together scholars and practitioners who are
committed to the concepts of sustainable development. A
forum will be created that encourages dialogue,
learning, solidarity and cross-fertilization of ideas. It is
planned for June 8-12, 2003 and will be held at the
Radisson Hotel & Conference Center near Green Bay,
Wisconsin.

Conference Purpose

Indigenous peoples all
over the world are steadily confronted with
outside pressures of having both their land and
cultures assimilated into the dominant cultural context. There
is currently an acute need to explore successful
models of sustainable development that allow for the
preservation of indigenous lands, sovereignty and
culture, while also allowing for the integration of economic
development, institutional capacity-building and
technological advancement.

The Menominee believe their model of sustainable
development provides clues to the kind of values,
economic system, and social order that might be
necessary in a sustainable world. As the state of the
world's environment becomes more critical, it is
believed that this model as well as other principles derived
from indigenous wisdom might offer clues from which
the modern world can learn as it desperately seeks
development alternatives.
