Climbing: An Indigenous Perspective
Climbing: An Indigenous Perspective
|
Are you rock climbing on land that's sacred to a tribal community? Is your rad project on holy ground?
How well do you know the areas you love to climb on? And what can you do to respect the people who are intimately connected to your playground? This August 2019, CASA was honored to feature as part of our Summer Education Nights Series a presentation led by Anthropology PhD candidate Ashleigh Thompson of the Red Lake Obijwe to learn more about climbing on indigenous lands, cultural sensitivity, and inclusivity. As climbers, it's our privilege to cultivate good relations between the climbing and Native communities. |
