ORAL PRESENTATION CO-AUTHORS: Tina Van Zile, Nathan Podany (Sokaogan Chippewa Environmental Dept) TITLE: Promoting tribal wetland conservation leadership in Wisconsin through short videos ABSTRACT: Wisconsin Wetlands Association (WWA) is collaborating with the Wisconsin Tribal Conservation Advisory Council and the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service as part of a many-year commitment to produce short videos documenting and promoting Tribal engagement in wetland conservation in Wisconsin. The videos promote examples of good wetland conservation by Tribes in Wisconsin; help Tribal decision-makers and land managers understand how wetlands function and how they can care for them; motivate and guide others toward wetland protection and care; and encourage broad-based understanding of wetlands and watersheds among the Tribal and general public. In this presentation, I will preview the latest video in this series, which will not publicly debut until spring 2026, that highlights the Sokaogon Chippewa Community Mole Lake Band of Lake Superior Chippewa. The video shares how approaching wetland restoration and management with a landscape and cultural perspective provides multiple benefits and how cultural values are an important driver for wetland and landscape conservation. I will also discuss how the partners will build on distribution and marketing plans used in recent years to distribute and promote the videos to target audiences.
