As we move towards the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year, we honour the wisdom of our ancestors through stories from the Resurgence archive. We look forward to gathering in community at our annual summer camp, and we invite you to join us as we reflect on our relationship with water in a new trilogy that starts this week (18 June).

Also on Tuesday, we will celebrate the abundance of Nature in our

Summer Solstice Earth Festival.

 Indigenous integrity

by Dennis Martinez, Issue 250, Sep/Oct 2008

In this web exclusive article from the 2008 'Indigenous Intelligence' issue of Resurgence magazine, Dennis Martinez explores the tragedy of Indigenous dispossession and highlights the importance of protecting Indigenous communities in an age of climate crisis.

Suggesting a move away from capitalist modes of production and transaction, Dennis highlights the Indigenous kin-centric worldview, which sees plants and animals as our relatives, as key to overcoming climate breakdown.

 Restoring harmony with Earth’s ocean and rivers: Four Arrows

Tuesday 25 June • 7.30—9pm BST • Zoom

The second speaker in our trilogy of talks on water, Four Arrows is renowned for his scholarly contributions to wellness, Indigenous representation

and education.

An Indigenous-based social transformer, he advocates for an Indigenous worldview whereby freedom and ecological sustainability go hand in hand.

His book Teaching Truly: A Curriculum to Indigenize Mainstream Education was selected by the Chicago Wisdom Project as one of the top 20 all-time progressive education books, and his co-authored text Restoring the Kinship Worldview was selected by UC Berkeley’s Greater Good Science Center as one of the most “thought-provoking, inspiring and practical

books of 2022”.

The Water Trilogy begins tonight, 18 June, 8.30—10pm BST,

with Veda Austin: 'The Divinity of Water'

Indigenous Worldview and Future Generations of Life on Earth

Narrated by Four Arrows, this video reflects on the value of an Indigenous worldview in our fight against global depletion.

"In contrast to the dominant worldview, the Indigenous one truly emphasises our relationship to the land, the environment and all its interconnected inhabitants. Without remembering this oneness with all of life,

we are doomed."
