Indigenous communities do not consider land as personal property. They share it with all beings and maintain relationships with it. By contrast, forms of action shaped by purely capitalist logics appropriate the earth in ways that place heavy strain on ecosystems and cause suffering. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two Indigenous women Jackie Hookimaw-Witt, a Cree from Canada, and Jocabed Reina Solano Miselis, a Kuna from Panama, offer insights into Indigenous relationships with the earth as the foundation of life. Jackie Hookimaw-Witt illustrates how spiritual relationships to land, food sovereignty, and traditional food production are inseparably linked to cultural and physical survival. Jocabed Reina Solano Miselis addresses the importance of Indigenous memory, spirituality, and political responsibility in the struggle for environmental and climate justice and for the rights of Indigenous communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The webinar invites participants to take Indigenous worldviews and knowledge systems seriously and to reflect together on how care for the earth, responsibility for one another, and peace are deeply interconnected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
