the Heravi Peace Institute presents a lecture by Darren Perry:
"The Earth Still Remembers Us: Indigenous Teachings on Hope, Character, and Climate Resilience" on Friday December 5 at 5:00 p.m in Old Main room 115 on the USU campus in Logan.

In a time of unprecedented ecological change, Indigenous worldviews remind us that the Earth is not a resource, it is a relative that remembers our songs, our stories, and our responsibilities. This keynote explores how Indigenous knowledge systems cultivate the moral character and relational ethics essential for climate resilience and peacebuilding. Drawing on teachings of reciprocity, humility, and gratitude, Darren Parry shares how ancestral wisdom offers pathways to restore balance between people and planet.
Through stories from the Shoshone tradition and contemporary examples of land stewardship, he will illustrate how hope is not a passive emotion but an active practice rooted in relationship. When we live with respect and responsibility, we remember who we are—and in doing so, the Earth remembers us too.
