Indigenous Knowledge

Ancient Futures: Listening to Indigenous Wisdom

What knowledge are you ready to honor, and who will you listen to?

Overview

Long before satellites and skyscrapers, there were songs carried by the wind — teachings woven into land, water, stars. Indigenous knowledge is not the past. It is a map for the future.

Challenge

Colonial systems devalue and erase Indigenous knowledge systems while exploiting Indigenous lands. Despite centuries of resistance, traditional ecological knowledge remains marginalized in climate decision-making spaces.

The Innovative Spark

Indigenous Climate Action centers Indigenous voices in climate solutions, using ancestral knowledge and modern organizing to protect communities and ecosystems from environmental destruction.

The Systemic Shift

Global movements for Indigenous sovereignty, such as Idle No More, advocate for land defense, treaty rights, and climate policies grounded in Indigenous stewardship and self-determination.
