The Indian Land Tenure Foundation Speaker Series (KBGA radio interview with Terry Janis) is scheduled to host its inaugural run of esteemed presenters on contemporary land issues in Indian Country. The event will cast a light on our relationship to the earth and the management of Indian land held in trust by the U.S. Interior Department. Here is the lineup of other speakers who have graciously accepted the invitation to be a part of the foundation series:
• March 30 Julie Cajune (Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes), executive director, Center for American Indian Policy and Applied Research at Salish Kootenai College, will present the Indian land tenure curriculum, Lessons of Our Land. The material is designed to help teachers educate students about the history, culture and current issues pertaining to American Indian land. Ownership and stewardship of land is fundamental to Indian culture, tribal sovereignty, community well-being, and economic strength. The curriculum illustrates the important relationship between land and all people.
