The World Around in FOCUS:LAND

The The World Around program IN FOCUS:LAND features architect and community designer Joseph Kunkel, a citizen of the Northern Cheyenne Nation and Director of The Sustainable Native Communities Design Lab at MASS Design Group.

The mission of SNCDL is to “close the wealth gap in Indian Country through culturally responsive housing development and Native home ownership”.

Joseph discusses this design and advocacy mission and how it’s applied in two projects currently in-development; Akwesasne Eco Village in the Mohawk Akwesasne Reserve and the public riverwalk project at Willamette Falls with Willamette Falls Trust.

Listen to the thoughtful conversation which runs from 00:11:00 - 1:17:03.

The World Around is proud to be in residence at Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum during 2021.
