Birds, Our Endangered Allies
Native American Beliefs and Concerns About Our Relationship With Birds--Including Climate Change and Other Hazards
Speaker: Evan Pritchard
Evan Pritchard, author and academic of Mi'kmaq and Celtic descent, will speak on Native American beliefs and concerns about our relationship with birds. Once again highlighting Native American spiritual beliefs, Evan will share more first-hand stories from Native American elders about bird-human interactions. This sense of intimacy with our avian allies has led many First Americans to become especially concerned about hazards, such as climate change and cell tower radiation, on birds. The National Audubon Society's Sept. 9, 2014 report on the impact of climate change on bird life will be integrated into his presentation. Excellent for all ages
LOCATION: Community Center, Congers Lake Memorial Park, 6 Gilchrest Road, Congers, N.Y., 10920. There is plenty of parking near the building, and it is handicap accessible.
TIME: Meet at 7:00 p.m. for refreshments and conversation, with a one-hour nature program beginning at 7:30 p.m.
All RAS programs are open to the public and donations are greatly appreciated to help cover costs. If you would like to contribute a sweet or savory treat for the refreshments table, please add your name to the sign-up sheet at the meeting! This program is made possible through generous donations from our members and friends! Thank you!
