Running-Grass is a professional outdoor and environmental educator with more than 20 years experience. He is widely published and nationally recognized for his expertise in multicultural environmental education and Environmental Justice. He is a West Coast correspondent for Orion Magazine.
The launching of the national Environmental Justice movement in the late 1980's highlighted how a narrowly constructed environmental education supported a circumscribed environmental politics--one that rarely reflected the issues of low income and people of color communities or acknowledged their indigenous cultural perspectives - their lived histories - about, and in, "place." In 1989, Running-Grass led a group of educators and activists in creating Three Circles Center for Multicultural Environmental Education to address these issues. The term "multicultural environmental education," widely in use today, is derived from this work.
