Society Banquet & Distinguished Ethnobiologist Award ~ 2017

On Friday evening, conference registrants and guests will gather for a special banquet. The banquet will be held at the Montreal Planetarium and will feature the 2017 Distinguished Ethnobiologists Steven Weber and Steven Emslie, the co-founders of our Society. We will conclude the evening with a Haudenosaunee social dance with Kaniehkeshon.
