The Swamps have spent much of the last 30 years traveling in many parts of the world to talk about the teachings of their culture and caring for the Earth, according to the foundation.

The lecture, part of a collaboration with the American Indian Studies Program, will be held in the Harvill Building, Room 150, at 7 p.m. on the University of Arizona's Tucson campus. The event, which is part of the "Seven Generation Program," is free.


On April 18, the Amerind Foundation in Dragoon will host a forum at 2 p.m. on "Native Perspectives on Caring for the Earth." Forum participants will come from the Navajo (Dine), Tohono O'odham, Hopi, Apache, Yaqui and Mohawk nations.
