Indigenous Peoples already lead in "green jobs," integrating cultural values and protecting 80% of global biodiversity. Transforming economies through Indigenous-led solutions requires uplifting these movements and stories, necessitating a shift in philanthropy and "impact investing" from privileged circles.

In this panel, Sikowis (Plains Cree/Saulteaux), Nick Estes (Lower Brule Sioux Tribe), and Alexis Bunten (Unangan/Yupik) explore colonial-capitalism. They discuss how Indigenous-led strategies offer a pathway toward an equitable and regenerative future.

Indigenous Pacific peoples possess centuries of deep ocean knowledge. Today, commercial farming, overfishing, resource extraction, and global warming severely threaten these vital ocean ecosystems, intensifying the climate crisis.

A panel of three leaders, intimately familiar with land-ocean relationships, will explore strategies to restore balance to the Pacific and the planet. Moderated by Alexis Bunten, the discussion features Loa Niumeitolu, Kiana Frank, and Andrea Kealoha. This talk was delivered at the 2023 Bioneers Conference.

In 2020, the US Government de-established the Mashpee Wampanoag tribe's reservation trust land during the COVID-19 pandemic. This decision is particularly poignant, occurring 400 years after the Pilgrims arrived, settling on land previously ravaged by a European-introduced epidemic (1616-1620) that decimated up to 90% of the Wampanoag population. Despite this devastating history, the Wampanoag helped the Pilgrims survive and remain on their ancestral homelands, now threatened by the Department of the Interior.

Listen to a 35-minute conversation with Alexis Bunten (Indigeneity Program) and Mashpee Wampanoag citizen Danielle Hill. They discuss how this decision reflects a broader legacy of tribal termination, and the roles of capitalism and racism.
