Thanks Valentin and all the panelists for great presentations connecting all the issues.

Chat and camera functions are enabled now as we move toward the Q&A. Feel free to begin dropping questions in the chat box!

This was amazing—I have to run, unfortunately—but THANK YOU to the speakers!!

I am sorry to have to leave now, but I want to thank the speakers so far for their vision, clarity and energy.

Thank you to the panelists-what powerful testimony you all shared!!! Have to run to class, but so grateful to you all!

Thank you to all for such great presentations!

Yes, thank you, panelists, for these great presentations!!

Thank you so much to all the panelist! CLLAS, Valetin, Kari, Ryan, Ron and Kirby!

I have to also run! But thank you so much!

Thank you for your talks. Have any of you been apart of or heard of movement/action toward Indigenous solidarity around wildfire/smoke?

Thank you everyone for sharing

Valentin- How can we support your organization to help creating awareness and advocating for the worker's rights?

It was so well thought out and presented, I don’t have any questions. Only gratitude.

Thank you so much for sharing!! It’s good to hear from different perspectives!

Thank you panelists for sharing!

Deep thanks for your presentations! Ron and Kari, I remember hearing stories about how different it was on the River before the fires were suppressed by forest policy. And always good to see Katimin too.

Question for Ron Reed. Can you tell us about how the tribal fire program has developed over the last years? Is it growing or has it been established for a long time? Are there barriers the tribe is experiencing in using fire?

Question for Ron and Kari: Are there federal programs engaged with the tribes to learn and train people on native ways.

Thank you so much for incredible perspectives and valuable information. It’s so important to learn about how resources are being managed, the colonial history of wildfire smoke, and what solutions should be in our future!

Are Oregon’s Forestry programs (at OSU in particular) including traditional indigenous practices in forestry courses? Is this knowledge finding its way into incoming forestry professionals? Are they seeking out your expertise?

Thank you. I’m thinking about my question in relation to how Anishinaabe nations in the midwest are trying to bring back prescribed burning to support wild blueberry harvests, for example.

Link to the final report of Phase one: http://covid19farmworkerstudy.org/survey/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/COFS_Report2021_ENG_FULL-compressed.pdf

We have Indigenous farmworkers working under conditions of smoke, heat, pesticides, and pressing for change and Indigenous systems for beating heat and combatting fires. How can we put these two efforts together, these knowledges and systems for change?

We did identify 24 Indigenous languages from Mexico and Guatemala among the farmworkers we surveyed.

Q for Valentin -- can you speak about how folks or orgs advocating "organic", "local" foods might better interface with your organization to keep worker health/rights/justice central... Thank you to all the panelists for this session!

Can’t begin to describe how impressive and inspiring all your work is—thank you. One thing that really came through the presentations on this panel was the way different env. impacts have such compounded and intersecting affects—Kimberli Crenshaw, in a podcast on Covid, has spoken about „intersectional vulnerabilities.“ Of course, the complexity of exposures/vulnerabilities makes it easier for responsible parties to deny/avoid accountability, and makes policy-making incredibly challenging. Can you address this?

this story also opens with a story on farmworkers in california then second half is on Karuk

Thank you all. I will continue to follow your impressive work.

Is there any opportunity for college students such as myself to intern or help bring more awareness to the hardships of farm workers? I’m hispanic and my father started off as a farm worker when he came to the US from his home in Guatemala! My mom isn’t working but she’s native from Mexico. So this hits home to my culture!

Thank you for this! I’m going to head out but I’d like to hear your response! If this is recorded I’ll try and find the response to this somehow!

Thank you all so much! What a wonderful panel.

Thank you all!!

Thank you for a wonderful panel!

Also a round of applause to Ryan for moderating his FIRST academic panel discussion!!!

Wonderful and Awesome, thank you!! Go Ryan!

Well done!!

Awesome everyone!!!

Thanks to all!!!

Thank you all so much! I will be working to share these stories with secondary students here in Eugene!

Thank you!! Great panel

Thank you!

please type your questions in the chat.

Building on Jakeline’s point about the importance of the role of academia/academics (and there were a lot of connections with the University of Oregon in Kayla and Eddie’s presentations)…what should the role of academics in general and the University of Oregon in particular be in relationship to BIPOC struggles for their territories?

The role of academics is to both to; equitably and factually/scientifically/intelligently examine and research all things relevant AND the academy has to continue to radically correct its incomplete and disrespectful approaches to exclude us and study us without our full consent and inclusion. The academy helps drive the research that extracts our wealth and value for external use. College studios become graduates careers.....

Saludos desde El Salvador, que buen conversatorio.

Saludos a todo el Abya yala

Saludos Ana!

me tengo que ir ahora n 10 min

muchas gracias por acompañarnos Jakeline. ¡Qué conversación tan importante!

Stephanie I would love to hear your response as well!

Ya’ll are incredible

I lasted 63 days at OSU

This is not really a question, but a reflection: How can we solidify global alliances to challenge the systemic dimension of neo-extractivism and new forms of land occupation often driven by so called ‘green economy’? While I appreciate the discussion on the ‘4 colors’ (which seems to me a very US-centered narrative that simplifies nuances about how racism operates), the systemic dimension of global neoliberalism cuts across those and divides struggles and resistance.

thank you all, this has been amazing!

Thank you all, great panel! Gracias Jakeline
