This training was delivered as part of the Tribal Lands and Environment Forum: Virtual Gathering in August 2020 by Cynthia Annett, Oral Saulters, and Scott Nightingale, Kansas State University Tribal Technical Assistance to Brownfields (TAB) and Ted Jojola and Michaela Shirley, University of New Mexico Indigenous Design and Planning Institute (iD+Pi). The schedule of the recorded presentations is included below.
Tribal TAB facilitated an opportunity for profound reset: new insights and perspectives on your local community. Brownfields as the prism for understanding and creating change. This session focused on a community asset mapping activity using practical strategies and tools to identify key resources, build collaborative capacity, and leverage these in advancing shared goals. iD+Pi discussed indigenous planning principles, highlighting the role they play in brownfields redevelopment, and showcased New Mexico tribal Brownfields projects in the Pueblos of Acoma and Cochiti. Viewers will learn how indigenous planning principles and asset mapping concepts can be applied in their communities to catalyze positive transformation.
