“Indigenous Art Mixer to Preserve Sacred Sites and Medicine” (BIPOC Grad Collective)

The Yale BIPOC Grad Collective invites the Yale community to an art mixer and talk on environmental justice and Indigenous medicine preservation on Thursday, 3/30, from 5-8pm at Yale AfAm House (211 Park St.)! 

 

The event features Indigenous spiritual leaders discussing their land & traditional medicine preservation efforts and introduces the Wirikuta Preservation Project (WPP). The so-far successful WPP initiative was launched in 2022 by young environmental and spiritual activists under guidance of Wixárika Elders (spiritual elders) of the San Andres-Cohamiata communities with the vision to preserve their annual pilgrimage and the sacred site of Wirikuta in San Luis Potosí, Mexico through the establishment of a nature preserve held in a land trust on behalf the Wixárika People. 

We hope you will join us!
