Learning the Mesoamerican legacy of being in harmony with nature: A workshop and talk with Dr. Mindahi Bastida
The heritage and legacy from many Mesoamerican traditional cultures and indigenous communities have often been overlooked in today’s environmental curricula.
The goal of this workshop in partnership with the School of Forestry and Environmental Studies (F&ES) the Latin American SIG, the Environmental Media and Arts SIG (EMAS) and the Grounded SIG is to offer Mesoamerican native peoples traditions to environment students, to enrich their understanding of native people’s contributions to “heal the planet”.
During the workshop, Dr. Mindahi Bastida will talk about the differences and commonalities of Mesoamerican peoples that for years have helped them live in harmony with nature, and there will also be an opportunity to tie theoretical knowledge with sensory activities by experimenting with ocarinas, in order to help participants reconnect to the sounds of the earth, and work towards the common goal of caring for our planet.
