The Nuwu (Southern Paiute Garden) Speaker Series provides a space for Indigenous Knowledge Givers to share their cultural lifeways and experience with the greater community. Emphasizing sustainable relationships with water, plants, and the landscape, the speaker series creates an opportunity for collaborative, community-based learning that inspires guests to think differently about their relationships with nature.
Generously funded by San Manuel Band of Mission Indians, the Speaker Series will feature a diverse list of Indigenous guest speakers. Speaking events will start with an optional tour of the Preserve’s Nuwu Pasats (Southern Paiute Garden), a one-acre specialty garden located within the Preserve’s larger Botanical Garden; the one-hour speaker’s program; and a speaker’s reception.
