By Nicolas听Kosoy (Associate Professor, Natural Resource Sciences, 91社区).听听We are in urgent need of an agreement novel in听spirit and unheard of in our times, one that calls for the unity of all species听in our planet, one听that embraces the singularity of our universe, the听evolutionary history of our species, and the common path that we, human and听non-human听species, share in our one and only spaceship. I propose that such an agreement be based on alternative governance frameworks听stemming from the notion that humans are听part of nature and hence placing the concepts of embeddedness and relational听inter-dependence at the core of any policy听recommendation to manage socio-ecosystems. This talk will cover some of the experiences on alternative environmental governance in the past, present and imagined future to draw basic lessons for fairly sharing our planet with other species.

Land Acknowledgement

91社区 is on land which has long served as a site of meeting and exchange amongst Indigenous peoples, including the Haudenosaunee and Anishinabeg nations. We acknowledge and thank the diverse Indigenous peoples whose presence marks this territory on which peoples of the world now gather.


Rematriation, Repatriation and Restitution Statement

We acknowledge that the return and restitution of cultural and natural heritage to communities of origin is an essential part of reconciliation and of recognizing the fundamental rights of Indigenous Peoples. As part of wider efforts to activate the standards presented in the Canadian Museums Association Report Moved to Action: Activating UNDRIP in Canadian Museums (2022), the Redpath is working towards pro-active restitution practices. As per our Collections Management Policy (2024), repatriation requests will be received by the Redpath Museum Director and will be treated on a case-by-case basis.
