Join NCWF South Wake Conservationists chapter for a presentation about the indigenous conservation land ethic. Our speaker, David Rahahę́·tih Webb, is an enrolled citizen of the Tuscarora Indians of the Kahtenuaka Territories, the Executive Director of Muddy Sneakers, as well as an author, artist, and historian. His presentation will cover how the indigenous conservation ethic relates to wildlife through a Tuscarora historical and cultural perspective, and how David’s work with Muddy Sneakers helps engage kids with the outdoors. Come for a discussion of land ethics and stay to get a copy of one of David’s books!
