Our Causes: Indigenous Wisdom
"Indigenous people are in a place to tell us about the lands in which they live. They are the stewards of 80% of the remaining terrestrial biodiversity on the planet. These aren't peripheral figures. These are individuals who not only deserve a place at the Council of Human Knowledge, they can be our professors. They can be our teachers, and not only in terms of the flora and fauna of their homeland, but of their vision of life itself."
- Wade Davis, Ph.D., Canadian anthropologist & author, 1953 - present
Western Civilization is not the culmination of human evolution. There are many branches on the Tree of Humanity, and the cultural expression of each is equally valid.
Many indigenous cultures view life on Earth through a lens of stewardship and multi-generational resource protection. Many view life through a community-first, sharing mindset. How we, as humans, view the planet and our role on it is fundamental to how we operate individually and the impact we have collectively.
We believe a shift must take place if we are to reach a sustainable path, and that shift can happen only if we listen to and learn from indigenous cultures. For thousands and thousands of years, they have been stewards of the planet, and it’s time we humbly sit at their feet, listen, and learn—through conversations and ceremony—how we can put humanity back on a sustainable path, in balance with the Earth and those we share it with.
