Phil Klasky week one



As a lecturer in the Department of American Indian Studies and the College of Ethnic Studies, and as an activist working for social and environmental justice, I am well aware of the challenges facing indigenous peoples around the world. Due to ravages of colonialism and the constant attack on native lands by corporations and governments, orginal peoples have been forced off of their lands and marginalized within a system that favors profit over people and sustainability. There is a direct correlation between cultural and environmental diversity and as a cultural ethnographer I work to help preserve and revitalize native knowledge and traditions that help protect the earth -- teachings we can all learn from.
If growing a soul patch will help fundraise for human rights, then I am happy to help out. Contribute to our movement and watch it grow!
