Challenging Systems, Bringing Indigenous Solutions

At NDN Collective , we know very well that Indigenous Peoples are too often denied access to spaces, resources, and platforms to voice concerns and demand change. Still, we continue showing up to challenge systems, engage in critical conversations, and remind the world of the inherent knowledge that Indigenous Peoples possess as solutions for all people and Mother Earth.

In this month’s newsletter, we share highlights from COP 27 in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt with our Climate Justice Delegation, which engaged in numerous panels and discussions on international policy related to climate change. We also lift up our tactical media coverage in Washington, D.C. to shed light on the major ICWA case,?Brackeen v. Haaland. We celebrate the launch of the LANDBACK Magazine, and we welcome the 2023 Radical Imagination Cohort– all of this, and much more.

Yes we see progress but the conditions of ours and the status of Indigenous, the conditions relevant to equal access to basic rights and opportunities. We need valued starting with the family unit, society of our levels and the national level. We want to be represented within the various platforms, forums, indigenous to be around the table when decisions are made. We want to be driving decisions that affect us, driving national decisions either in business, in the economy, whether in politics, whether in in the scientifically, whether in religious, whether in our societies. We want to be part of the decisions making process and to also contribute to those particular decisions. We want freedom, to be able to make decision, to live our lives, to say out our opinions, to say out our feelings, to feel the sense of normality and continuity, to share our past experience like stressful situation, our current fear and future hope, without the fear of discrimination or harassment and intimidation. We want our stories to be positive, because a lot of times, we see still types that are perpetrated by media, by business, by electronic media, social platforms, and all these negatives types.
