Overview
The Sense of Place Symposium Report is a summary of the presentations delivered by FPCC recipients of the 2019-2020 Sense of Place: Reconnecting the Land through Indigenous Cultural Heritage grant. The symposium was delayed as a result of COVID-19 and was held virtually from November 24-26, 2021.
At the symposium, representatives from 13 of the 14 project teams came together virtually to speak about their processes. This report provides a summary of each group’s presentation to give a broad picture of the diverse accomplishments of these communities in addressing how Indigenous knowledge systems can be applied to planning for community resiliency and for the well-being of people and the land into the future.
