Every day is Earth Day on Turtle Island🌎🌳🐢

As an Indigenous-led organization, M.I.C. honors and upholds the utmost reverence and responsibility to our sacred Mother Earth. Since time immemorial, she has provided all the necessary resources we need in order to survive and thrive. Food, water, shelter, and medicine all derive from her being. We acknowledge that we are not separate from our Mother, she is a part of who we are. Her love and bounty are unconditional. She provides not because we ask or demand it, but simply because it is her purpose.

On Earth Day, a day when we uplift the importance of our sacred Mother Earth, spend time considering how you honor your relationship and kinship. How will you protect her for all of our relatives and for future generations? What small steps could you take today to become a better steward?

In partnership with The Metoac Indigenous Collective, Shane Weeks, Tecumseh Ceaser, Atlantic Marine Conservation Society, and Citizens Campaign for the Environment, this virtual gathering will explore:

🐋 Marine mammals and sea turtles found in our local waters
🌱 Their cultural, ecological, and community significance
⚠️ Environmental challenges facing Long Island Sound
🤝 Collaborative stewardship and ways the public can help protect these species

Participants will also learn about Indigenous knowledge systems and tribal cultural practices, and how relationship-building between communities and scientists strengthens conservation efforts.

Together, we can build understanding, foster collaboration, and take meaningful steps to protect our waters.
