RENEWAL:

Guardians Of Life: Indigenous Science, Indigenous Wisdom, And Restoring The Planet With Kiliii Yüyan

Thursday, May 21 | 6:00 - 7:30 PM

Through photography and firsthand storytelling, Kiliii Yüyan will take us on a transformative journey to places and people living in relationship with their ancestral homelands, and illuminate the courage, knowledge, challenges, and stewardship that sustain life on Earth.

In the Guardians of Life book, Kiliii Yüyan captures vivid portraits of Indigenous people, youth and elders, hunters and farmers, spiritual leaders and craftsmen revealing their ways of knowing and taking care of the land. This book upholds the inherent sovereign rights of Indigenous peoples to care for their ancestral lands and waters, and seeks to build a movement that would broadly benefit and sustain life on planet Earth for all.

This webinar is a part of Save Our wild Salmon Coalition’s new webinar series: RENEWAL! The 2026 RENEWAL webinar series invites you to renew and reimagine our commitment to each other, our non-human neighbors, and the special places we call home. Each 90-minute webinar shares stories of renewal, positive change, and resilience, and spotlights inspiring work under way to repair and recover lands, waters, and wildlife across the Northwest and beyond. Webinars include a presentation, moderated discussion, and Q&A on Zoom.

This event is co-hosted by Save Our wild Salmon, Braided River, Ridges to Riffles Indigenous Conservation Group, Native Organizers Alliance, and Washington Conservation Action.
