Indigeneity

Most Indigenous groups throughout the world have long faced dire oppression and many are at risk of cultural annihilation, but many have organized, resisted and managed against great odds to adapt and revitalize their cultures and institutions. Some of these “first peoples” possess invaluable knowledge about their ancestral ecosystems and profoundly sophisticated earth-honoring worldviews from which we have much to learn, and whose wisdom we ignore at our peril.
