Indigenous Planning employs a Seven Generations model that uses culture and identity to inform community development. PlaceKnowing is necessary for understanding how communities construct their worldview to give and sustain meaning to the landscapes they inherit.
Please join us for a conversation with Theodore (Ted) Jojola, PhD, Distinguished Professor in the Community & Regional Planning Program, School of Architecture + Planning, University of New Mexico (UNM), and Founder and Director of the Indigenous Design + Planning Institute (iD+Pi).
Moderated by Lee Davis, Co-Director, Center for Social Design, Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA), and Designer-in-Residence & Curator with the Ecological Design Collective.
The latest in our 2021 monthly series on Race, Ecology, and Design.
