The Arizona Journal of Environmental Law and Policy is focusing our annual Spring Symposium on the topic of Indigenous Land Stewardship. The Symposium will bring together a diverse array of leaders from tribal communities, academia, the public sector, and advocacy organizations to discuss current efforts and developments within the field of Indigenous land stewardship and its intersections with domestic and international law and policy.

The Symposium Keynote Address will be given by Charles F. Sams III, the first Native American to serve as the Director of the National Park Service. The rest of the Symposium consists of four panels: Land Back in Action (Panel I), Protecting Indigenous Sacred Sites (Panel II), Tribal Co-Management of Federal Lands (Panel III), and Indigenous Knowledge in Land Stewardship Law and Policy (Panel IV).

In order to make these conversations as accessible to the public as possible, the Symposium will be held in a hybrid format with speakers attending both in-person and remotely with concurrent livestreaming over Zoom.
