College’s Earth Day Celebration Theme Is Our Mother Earth - Kohkomaehsahkamekonaw
The College of Menominee Nation is celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Earth Day from Monday through Friday, April 20 to 24, with events coordinated by CMN’s Sustainable Development Institute (SDI).
To adhere to COVID-19 restrictions, SDI is substituting its usual on-campus events in Keshena by providing Earth Day activity bags to community members at Keshena Primary School and the Pat Roberts Food Distribution Center on Wednesday, April 15. The reusable Earth Day totes will include information and ideas for daily activities to help families celebrate the day set aside to reflect on human impact on Mother Earth’s environments and ways to assure clean air, land and water for all.
As part of the week, SDI invites others who are observing Earth Day to share their pictures on the CMN-SDI Facebook Page: CMN Sustainable Development Institute.
CMN-SDI is also promoting other activities that can be accessed by anyone at any time:
