Greg Cajate, the director of the Native American Studies Program and the University of New Mexico, discusses how indigenous people are like the miner's canary. This talk (of which a clip is shown) took place at the Indigenous Forum, co-produced with the Cultural Conservatory, at the 2012 Bioneers Annual Conference. 

Since 1990, Bioneers has acted as a fertile hub of social and scientific innovators with practical and visionary solutions for the world's most pressing environmental and social challenges. 

To experience talks like this, please join us at the Bioneers National Conference each October, and regional Bioneers Resilient Community Network gatherings held nationwide throughout the year.
