Wisdom Keepers

About This Collection

There are fifty+ channels on YouTube bringing the voices of wisdom keepers to the fore, most publishers are indigenous communities. We support the sharing and preservation of sacred wisdom teachings, the very foundation of sustainability principles and practices, and offer EarthSayers as a "connecting tool" working towards the idea of One Voice through this special collection and other vidoes on EarthSayers such the series, Native Perspectives on Sustainability and special collections on Indigenous Elders Dr. David Courchene, Ilarion Merculief, and Dr. Robin Kimmerer, 

We are grateful to the individuals and organizations who are using the world wide web to present and spread the indigenous voices of wisdom.

Lessons from Indigenous Lifeways and Our Feathered Relatives
In this time of crises — climate change, ecocide, declining biodiversity, social inequity, injustice, and political turmoil — understanding of Indigenous lifeways and values can help us envision and create a better future for all of us. Core values that are common to many Indigenous cultures — relationship, responsibility, reciprocity, and redistribution help us to be good stewards of our communities and ecosystems in sacred kinship with all our relatives. Birds are important guides and can provide us with an understanding of these values. We have much to learn from our feathered relatives. Join the conversation.

Panelists:
Aimee Roberson (Chickasaw & Choctaw), Cultural Survival Executive Director
Ruben Flores (Nahua), CS Bazaar Artist
Kim Tekwitha Spencer (Wapishana), CS Youth Fellow
Israel Hernández López (Chinanteco), KOEF Grant Partner
