THE KICKOFF TO OUR 2025 LIVABLE FUTURE FORUM

The first Indigenous National Park Service Director and Cayuse and Walla Walla tribal citizen Chuck Sams will join LandWatch Executive Director Ben Gordon for a discussion on the Rights of Nature—a movement that redefines how we relate to land, water, and wildlife. Sams will share perspectives shaped by Indigenous law and conservation leadership, inviting us to recognize nature not as property, but as a relative.
