The Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian is celebrating Earth Day with a virtual Living Earth Festival running this Thursday through Sunday.
“We look at every day as Earth Day,” Assistant Director of Programs Shawn Termin told WTOP. “This is our 14th year to celebrate it. This year we’re focusing on the business of agriculture in Indian Country. We have been supported generously by the National American Agricultural Fund.”
The festival kicks off with an opening statement by golfer Notah Begay III (Navajo/San Felipe/Isleta), four-time PGA Tour champion, sportscaster and founder of the Notah Begay III Foundation, which provides health and wellness education to Native youth.
