Centre for Indigenous Research and Community-Led Engagement and President’s Impact Chair in Transforming Governance for Planetary Health invite you to the book launch event of Fresh Banana Leaves by Dr. Jessica Hernandez.
Feb 1 3—5:30 pm (PST)
Advanced registration: https://bit.ly/33rznhT

Jessica Hernandez–Maya Ch’orti’ and Zapotec environmental scientist and founder of environmental agency Piña Soul–introduces and contextualizes Indigenous environmental knowledge and proposes a vision of land stewardship that heals rather than displaces, that generates rather than destroys. Through case studies, historical overviews, and stories that center the voices and lived experiences of Indigenous Latin American women and land protectors, Hernandez makes the case that if we’re to recover the health of our planet–for everyone–we need to stop the eco-colonialism ravaging Indigenous lands and restore our relationship with Earth to one of harmony and respect.
