WHAT - 2023 was an un10recedented year for wildfires in the NWT with almost 70% of the population being evacuated to communities across the NWT and western Canada. A state of emergency was called and 13 communities including Behchoko, Fort Smith, Salt River First Nation, Smith Landing First Nation, Jean Marie River, West Point First Nation, Hay River, K'atl'odeeche First Nation, Enterprise, Ndilǫ, Dettah, Yellowknife and Kakisa were evacuated. The Dene Nation calls for the full independent public inquiry to begin as soon as possible. Dene authority and governance must be recognized and included in all response plans going forward. This podcast was created from the WEBINAR: Dene Nation Speaks Out on the 2023 Wildfires Devastation and Why An Independent Inquiry Is Needed which was streamed live on Mar 11, 2024 Part three - In Part Three Trevor Teed starts off speaking on his experience as both an evacuee and an employee of Dene Nation dealing with the Territorial Government during evacuation and the Red Cross at the evacuee centre in Edmonton. Then Jesse Cardinal of Keepers of the Water opens the webinar to other Chiefs on the call who would like to speak to their experiences. Grand Chief Wilbert Kochon of the Sahtu speaks on the lasting impacts on his community from the 2023 wildfires and the lack of experience of those leading the evacuation efforts for the GNWT. Jesse Cardinal recaps other speakers emphasis on the long standing effects of climate change including fires and drought, Dene Nation employees Wilbert Cook and Sam Bullock speak on the lack of organization and the effects on the evacuees. Then Chief Frank Andrew of Toledo wraps up part three with his communities experiences during the 2023 wildfires and the importance of recognizing climate change and it's part in the 2023 wildfires. Grand Chief Wilbert Kochon - Sahtu Dene Council Grand Chief and Dene Nation executive member Chief Frank Andrew - was re-elected for another four-year term as chief of the Tulita Dene Band, in 2021 Trevor Teed - Lands and Environment director at Dene Nation, an evacuee and a Dene Nation employee who helped with evacuee response. Wilbert Cook - Director of Housing at Dene Nation, an evacuee and a Dene Nation employee who helped with evacuee response. Sam Bullock - Director of Fisheries at Dene Nation, an evacuee and a Dene Nation employee who helped with evacuee response.

Stuart Hameroff MD is Professor of Anesthesiology and Psychology, and Director of the Center for Consciousness Studies at the University of Arizona in Tucson. Hameroff became interested in intelligent behavior of microtubules, protein lattices which organize activities within living cells. Hameroff and colleagues developed theories of microtubules as self-organizing molecular computers. In the 1990s Hameroff teamed with Sir Roger Penrose on the controversial Penrose-Hameroff "Orch OR" model of consciousness based on quantum computing in brain neuronal microtubules, a notion bolstered by recent evidence. Hameroff also organizes the biennial interdisciplinary conferences, The Science of Consciousness Conference. The Science of Consciousness (‘TSC') conference is the world's longest running inter-disciplinary gathering on the study of consciousness, the nature of existence, and our place in the universe. In 2025 TSC will be in Barcelona, Spain, July 6-11 (Workshops, Plenaries, Concurrents, Exhibits, Demos, Social, Poetry Slam, Dancing - AC Marriott Forum Hotel), preceding and in conjunction with The Festival of Consciousness, July 11-13 (Music, Art, Experiential, Inspiration, Spirituality, Education, Business, Evolution). Speakers include: Sir Roger Penrose, Donald Hoffman, Robert Lawrence Kuhn, Rupert Sheldrake, Deepak Chopra, Federico Faggin, Anirban Bandyopadhyay, and many others.

Abstract: Different theories explain how subjective experience arises from brain activity. These theories have independently accrued evidence, yet, confirmation bias and dependence on design choices hamper progress in the field. Here, we present an open science adversarial collaboration which directly juxtaposes Integrated Information Theory (IIT) and Global Neuronal Workspace Theory (GNWT), employing a theory-neutral consortium approach. We investigate neural correlates of the content and duration of visual experience. The theory proponents and the consortium developed and preregistered the experimental design, divergent predictions, expected outcomes, and their interpretation. 256 human subjects viewed suprathreshold stimuli for variable durations while neural activity was measured with functional magnetic resonance imaging, magnetoencephalography, and electrocorticography. We find information about conscious content in visual, ventro-temporal and inferior frontal cortex, with sustained responses in occipital and lateral temporal cortex reflecting stimulus duration, and content-specific synchronization between frontal and early visual areas. These results confirm some predictions of IIT and GNWT, while substantially challenging both theories: for IIT, a lack of sustained synchronization within posterior cortex contradicts the claim that network connectivity specifies consciousness. GNWT is challenged by the general lack of ignition at stimulus offset and limited representation of certain conscious dimensions in prefrontal cortex. Beyond challenging the theories themselves, we present an alternative approach to advance cognitive neuroscience through a principled, theory-driven, collaborative effort. We highlight the challenges to change people's mind and the need for a quantitative framework integrating evidence for systematic theory testing and building. Copy rights belong to original authors.
