Media & Events

From the UN to classrooms, from international summits and events like Roots of the Future to community gatherings, we believe Indigenous voices must resonate in all spaces of dialogue and decision-making. We support our partners in directly sharing their experiences at global forums like UNPFII, plant seeds of change through conversations with students, and foster essential dialogues between different worlds and ways of knowing. In each of these moments, Indigenous peoples’ stories, struggles, and knowledge not only strengthen the defense of their fundamental rights but show us that different ways of living, thinking, and building the future are not just possible but necessary for our collective survival.
