Hoporenkv Native American Podcast: "You Can be a Climate H.E.R.O., Too!”

Join us this week as we connect with Jill Horwitz, Krystle Young Bowers, and Cody Motlow of the Seminole Tribe of Florida’s Heritage and Environmental Resources Office (aka H.E.R.O.). These ladies have a passion for protecting the environment that leaps right off the recording! Better yet, they share their wisdom with our hosts on how all of us living in Indian Country can hone our day-to-day practices to be more geared towards climate resiliency. Grab your headphones and buckle up because this conversation will take you on a journey! The ladies of H.E.R.O. detail to Ouista Atkins and Brooke Warrington, Training and Development Coordinator and Specialist respectively of the Seminole Tribe of Florida’s Native Learning Center, the current state of our environment, the science behind how the biosphere is being affected through climate change, how climate change is altering communities, the vision for food sovereignty, and much more. Guest Speaker(s):Jill Horwitz, M.U.R.P., LEED-GAClimate Resiliency OfficerSeminole Tribe of [email protected] Krystle Young Bowers, M.S.
