Come to the 6th Annual Campus Ecofeminism Summit Keynote Lecture! The summit is an annual week-long series of events devoted to connecting social justice, environmental justice, and feminism. This year, the keynote speaker is Eriel Tchekwie Deranger, a Dene Indigenous activist and member of the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation (ACFN) of Northern Alberta, Canada. Eriel is currently employed as the Tar Sands Campaign and Communication Coordinator for ACFN. Her work focuses on creating greater awareness about the impacts of the Alberta Tar Sands and demanding that all levels of government and the private sector fully implement the unique Indigenous rights her people hold as described by Treaty 8, and the United Nation Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous peoples. Eriel will discuss the intersection of environmentalism, social justice, and feminism.
