Welcome!

The Fireside Chats emerged from a desire to learn from Indigenous voices. These chats have been created in partnership with our friends at Naheyawin.  During these virtual sessions, our host, Hunter Cardinal, Co-founder and a long-time friend of the CSPA. Hunter invites a guest to chat about a range of topics related to environmental stewardship. While he chats with our invited guest, you are welcome to sit back and listen or ask your questions in the chat.

We have envisioned these chats as opportunities for encounter, unlearning and re-learning. We understand that what we do at the intersection of sustainability and the arts entails an ongoing relationship development and learning with Indigenous communities, Indigenous-led organizations and Indigenous Knowledge Keepers. We understand that what we do couldn’t be done without Indigenous voices and ways of knowing.

We hope that these conversations make you feel inspired, informed, and connected to a diverse range of sustainable practices through different Indigenous perspectives. We hope these learnings become tools for you to further your curiosity and perception. Finally, we also hope you leave with the same sense of hope we feel after each of our chats.
