Listening for the Rain: Indigenous Perspectives on Climate Change
Listening for the Rain starts a pluricultural conversation in which some Indigenous people who live in the central United States of America discuss their observations and understandings of, as well as responses to, climate change and variability. A team of Native and non-Native researchers and media artists worked together to document these stories. Not only does Listening for the Rain illustrate some of the environmental transformations distinguishing diverse Tribal landscapes, but the video also suggests some of the proactive solutions and ideas for addressing these issues that are currently being undertaken in Indian Country. The video was developed as part of a project supported by the South Central Climate Science Center and the Southern Climate Impacts Planning Program. During 2013, five Intertribal Workshops on Climate Variability and Change took place (four in Oklahoma and one in New Mexico). These one-day events introduce tribal representatives to the Climate Science Center, the…
Ilarion Merculieff | Mother Earth Speaks | Talks at Google
Ilarion Merculieff discusses what Mother Earth is saying about the trials and tribulations of the world, what it means, and what the Indigenous Elders say we must do. We have more environmental organizations in existence today all over the world than there was thirty years ago, and yet Mother Earth’s life support systems as we know it are coming to the edge and no one asks why. Ilarion argues that we need to examine the cause and realign ourselves in terms of the way we deal with the trials and tribulations of humans today. Business as usual is simply not going to work. Ilarion Merculieff has more than forty years of experience serving his people, the Unangan (Aleut) of the Pribilof Islands, and other indigenous peoples in a number of capacities—locally, nationally, and internationally. Throughout his entire career, Merculieff has been a passionate advocate for indigenous rights, and for a…

Natural Wisdom: Indigenous communities and defending biodiversity | earthrise
Being in tune with nature used to be instinctive for all humans. It was a matter of survival. But over the centuries, as we urbanised and industrialised, the connection has become weaker. But Indigenous communities around the world have not forgotten what it means to live in harmony with Earth. They make up around 5 percent of the world’s population and yet safeguard 80 percent of the planet’s biodiversity. The natural wealth they defend makes them vulnerable to exploitation and abuse. We meet two communities protecting unique ecosystems on their territory. In Brazil, the Xavantes are exploring new ways of defending their ancestral way of life. And in Australia, the Bardi Jawi are working with scientists to create a fresh approach to marine conservation. Through reports from Cadenza Films in Brazil and Wildside Pictures in Australia, together with interviews with activists Daiara Tukano, Xiye Bastida and Nemonte Nenquimo, this programme…
Why Indigenous Forest Guardianship is Crucial to Climate Action | Nonette Royo | TED
Indigenous communities have looked after their ancestral forests for millennia, cultivating immense amounts of knowledge on how to protect, nourish and heal these vital environments. Today, 470 million Indigenous people care for and manage 80 percent of the world’s biodiversity — yet their legal rights to these lands are inexplicit and subject to exploitation by illegal loggers, miners and companies. Human rights lawyer Nonette Royo describes how her team at the Tenure Facility, an organization that provides legal assistance to Indigenous people by taking their land rights battles to court, will help these communities secure and defend 50 million hectares of forests over the next five years. This ambitious plan is a part of the Audacious Project, TED’s initiative to inspire and fund global change. Watch all the talks from this year’s cohort at https://ted.com/audaciousproject Follow TED!

An Indigenous Perspective on Humanity’s Survival on Earth | Jupta Itoewaki | TED
Eighty percent of the world’s biodiversity is within Indigenous territories, yet these communities often don’t have a say when it comes to protecting the lands they inhabit. Environmental activist Jupta Itoewaki explains why Indigenous peoples are best positioned to lead the world’s efforts to preserve nature and maintain a habitable planet — and reminds us of their outsized importance in charting a sustainable future.
