Third Place Books and North Cascades Institute welcome Se'Si'Le director Kurt Russo, artist and ceremonial leader Chenoa Egawa, and Environmental Conservation student Fiorella de la O for a conversation about In the Spirit of Right and Respectful Relations: Conversations about Indigenous Ways of Knowing and Being in Nature, a collaboratively written book centering Indigenous perspectives on conservation and environmental stewardship in the Pacific Northwest.

Given the rising climate anxiety and the relentless environmental and biodiversity crisis, it is increasingly difficult to envision or have hope for a way forward for all our relations and future generations. A new Indigenous-led approach to ensure equal, respectful, and productive conversations and solutions between Tribes and other invested partners, communities, and government entities is emerging.

In The Spirit of Right and Respectful Relations promotes dialog with Indigenous Peoples to increase understandings, build relationships and momentum, and inspire action to support, protect, and restore our region’s imperiled lands, waters, life, and lifeways.
