The First Peoples of Turtle Island foretold the Eagle and Condor prophecy, predicting a time when people from the world's four directions would unite. The Eagle represents the northern hemisphere, and the Condor the southern.

This prophecy will be fulfilled in June at the Onjisay Aki International Climate Summit. Indigenous peoples will gather at the center of Turtle Island to unite the human family.

By now, we have all heard the statistic that Indigenous Peoples protect 80% of the world's biodiversity, despite being 5% of the world's population. This simple fact alone should position Indigenous, Native, and Tribal Peoples as not only leaders but experts on resource management and climate mitigation and adaptation. Yet, in many spaces, political and institutional, Indigenous knowledge and expertise are seen as supplemental, and at worse, romantic.

So how can we move beyond just acknowledging Indigenous Peoples to working to ensure that their rights are centered and strengthened in climate action at the local, national and global levels? Jade Begay, one of North America’s most effective Indigenous Rights activists will share her insights on how far Indigenous leadership has come and what we can do to strengthen and embolden this leadership that is so needed if we are all to survive on planet Earth

This keynote talk was part of the Bioneers 2023 Conference.

Randy Woodley and Graham Hill discuss embracing ethnic diversity and learning from indigenous communities on The GlobalChurch Project. Woodley, a descendent of the United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians, is a founding member of the North American Institute for Indigenous Theological Studies. Hill is the Founder and Director of The GlobalChurch Project.

Woodley and his wife Edith previously led a Native American gathering and developed a holistic service model, including a sustainable farm and Christian community. This initiative, which taught sustainability and eco-justice, was unfortunately disbanded due to violence. The GlobalChurch Project films Christian leaders and churches from diverse non-Western cultures, providing resources like curriculum, books, and training videos.

Indigenous representatives will gather at the "JUST TRANSITION: Indigenous Peoples’ Perspectives, Knowledge and Lived Experiences Summit" in Geneva, Switzerland, from October 8-10, 2024. Organized by The Indigenous Peoples Global Coordinating Committee, this event aims to redefine the "Just Transition" and "Green Economy."

The summit challenges mainstream interpretations that often fail to ensure a full transition from harmful impacts or deliver real justice for Indigenous Peoples. Over 100 representatives from seven socio-cultural regions worldwide will collectively develop Indigenous-led definitions for a truly just and equitable transition.
