#IndigenousPeoplesDay is today. I felt moved to share some knowledge and perspective despite the potential for it to be seen as performative allyship. In 1992, the city of Berkley, CA, eliminated?Columbus Day?in favor of Indigenous Peoples’ Day. California has officially celebrated Indigenous Peoples’ Day since 2019. 17 states?still observe the second Monday in October as an official public holiday called Columbus Day. It's important to denounce Columbus' violent history and recognize Indigenous communities today. I am taking steps to learn about Indigenous resistance and liberation movements, including the Pueblo Revolts of 1680. These resistance movements have always existed and will continue until colonization is dismantled. Indigenous people protect the environment by?acting as stewards of the land, utilizing traditional knowledge to manage natural resources sustainably and safeguard biodiversity. There’s a big connection to those who preserve our original ways of living in the world and a deep connection to #climateresiliency. I believe in land restoration, regenerative agriculture practices, #degrowth, #decolonization, and climate justice. So, for today, I encourage you to check out: ?? “Tending the Wild,” a book a short film that shines a light on the environmental knowledge of Indigenous peoples across California by exploring how they have actively shaped and tended the land for millennia, developing a deep understanding of plant and animal life. ?? The Peace and Dignity Journeys, an Indigenous and First Nation ceremonial run that invites the participation of Native and non-Native individuals committed to preserving Native American culture and uniting the Indigenous people of Turtle Island (North, Central, and South America). ?? “The Land Back Movement”, a decentralized campaign to reclaim ancestral lands and restore Indigenous sovereignty. If you have any resources to share, let me know. I'll be adding links in the comments.

March is Women's History Month and we're celebrating the incredible women working in conservation here at The Nature Conservancy. Hear from Agriculture Outreach Specialist, Stephanie Singer, about how empathy helps to foster diversity and effectiveness in her work to engage local communities in conservation. "My superpower is empathy, which I try to harness to understand different perspectives and create effective partnerships in my work. Having many different viewpoints makes any project stronger. Hearing and accepting ideas that are different from your own can be hard at first, but it will lead to personal growth and growth for your community." Discover more at: https://nature.ly/4a48MVE
