Part 5 of the Wednesday Workshop: Covering Indian Country, Public Lands and Environmental Justice in the West Public Lands Reporting From the Extremes: How to Cover Holistically This panel will talk with reporters and editors covering anti-government groups, anti-American Indian organizations and other extremists, which often coalesce around conflicts over public land. Who is the public, and how does that echo through extreme views? Whose land is at the center of the debate, and whose land was it? We'll hear from local reporters and regional editors on how to cover public lands holistically from Bears Ears to Bundy to the Flathead Valley. The goal is to better prepare reporters who cover these conflicts, to seek the nuance and context to tell better stories whether they're freelance, local or national reporters. Moderator: Anna Smith, Assistant Editor, High Country News Speakers: Brian Calvert, Editor-in-Chief, High Country News Kalen Goodluck, Journalist and Photographer Bill Morlin, Freelance Journalist

Part 2 of the Wednesday Workshop: Covering Indian Country, Public Lands and Environmental Justice in the West Hispanic Culture and Environmental Justice in the West From early Spanish explorers, Mestizos and recent Latin American immigrants, the West has a long storied history of Hispanic and Latino culture.

Covering Indian Country and Tribal Affairs

Speakers Juliet Eilperin (Moderator) Senior National Affairs Correspondent, The Washington Post Whit Fosburgh (Speaker) TRCP John Freemuth (Speaker) Distinguished Professor of Public Policy and Cecil Andrus Endowed Chair of Environment and Public Lands, Boise State University Dina Gilio-Whitaker (Speaker) Lecturer, American Indian Studies, California State University San Marcos Shea Loper (Speaker) Director, U.S. Government Relations, Encana Corporation William Perry Pendley (Speaker) Deputy Director, Policy and Programs, Bureau of Land Management, exercising authority of BLM director Description The U.S. has a long and storied history of land conservation, which has created a network of public lands now managed in different ways. Since Europeans arrived, these lands have been fought over between those looking to preserve them and those hoping to open them up to development. These public lands now face threats from climate change, including drought and wildfire, along with budget and staff cuts. Recreational impacts, along with drilling and mining, are on the rise. Tribal officials are demanding a greater voice in federal decision-making, and Trump administration officials are scaling back regulations. What does the future hold for America's public lands?

Public Lands at a Crossroads

Speakers Lisa Friedman (Moderator) Reporter, Climate Desk, The New York Times Guido Girgenti (Speaker) Founding Board Member and Communications Advisor, Sunrise Movement Mandy Gunasekara (Speaker) Founder, Energy 45 Fund, and former Principle Deputy Assistant Administrator, Office of Air and Radiation, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Heather McTeer Toney (Speaker) National Field Director, Moms Clean Air Force, and former Regional Administrator, Southeast Region, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency; Former Mayor of Greenville, Mississippi Joseph Pinion (Speaker) Founder & Chair, Conservative Color Coalition The 2020 election will offer a stark choice and contrast on U.S. environmental and energy policy. Through his first term, President Trump has withdrawn our country from the Paris Climate Agreement, accelerated oil and gas drilling offshore and on public lands, tried to revive coal mining and power production, and slammed wind and solar energy as unreliable. Meanwhile, Democratic Party presidential candidates are competing to be the environmental contender in 2020. That includes more than a half-dozen who have already expressed support for the Green New Deal, the massive reform initiative that calls for a “10-year national mobilization” to transition the country to a 100-percent renewable-energy, zero-emissions economy. This plenary will bring together politicians and campaign advisors to discuss the Green New Deal and what national environmental policy will look like beyond 2020, under either a Republican or Democratic president.
