Description

Join tribally led non-profit Pandion Institute, as we share how our endeavors engage tribal youth through outdoor education in their ancestral homelands. We go beyond the term “recreation”, and will discuss what we have learned through implementing an outdoor education model grounded in Indigenous values to support the development of youth and those young at heart. We are building the next generation of culturally competent and knowledgeable tribal leaders. We hope to challenge audiences in their approach to the outdoor recreation industry.
