In honor of our free exhibition We the People: The Radical Notion of Democracy, we invite you to join us for a conversation in the Great Hall with Prof. Gerald Torres, professor of environmental justice and professor of law at Yale Law School, and Chef Nico Albert (ᏣᎳᎩᎯ ᎠᏰᎵ Cherokee Nation), chef, caterer and student of traditional Indigenous cuisines. Drawing from Prof. Torres’s and Chef Albert’s careers, experiences, and insights, the conversation will be centered on the relationship between the US Constitution, tribal law, and Indigenous heritage, with a close look at use of Indigenous land and resources (such as food) through a lens of environmental justice, equity, and cultural histories. Chef Nico has also prepared tastings of seasonal, regionally sourced food that was complimentary at the live event.
