UW/Native Nations Summit on Environment and Health

MARCH 12-13, 2015 | Fluno Center | MADISON, WISCONSIN

The UW/Native Nations Summit on Environment and Health provided an opportunity for Wisconsin tribal and community leaders to join with UW researchers and educators to participate in focused conversations that:

• explored our shared capacities and concerns about environment and health;
• discussed issues related to environment, conservation, and all facets of health (physical, emotional, spiritual, psychological, cultural, community and environmental);
• expanded the cooperating community that links tribal governments and university researchers in the areas of environment and health; and
• began to develop realistic, practical action plans for projects that unite tribal and university resources.
