AIRIE.Foundation's 25th anniversary invites us to pause and reflect on what it means to add new voices to a place with a much older story.

In this conversation, our AIRIE.Foundation Fellow shares how meaningful it is to see Indigenous perspectives included in AIRIE.Foundation history and why that inclusion must continue as the organization grows. From the Miccosukee to the Seminole communities, he reminds us that the Everglades is not just a landscape, but a living record of the people who have protected and shaped it.

As we move into our 25th anniversary season, we carry this reminder with intention and gratitude
