🌎 Indigenous voices have always been essential to protecting our planet.

On International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples, we’re celebrating the young Indigenous artists, storytellers, and changemakers within the Bow Seat community, and recognizing the vital role Indigenous Peoples play in caring for our shared planet.

Across generations, Indigenous communities have carried knowledge, traditions, and relationships with the natural world that continue to guide efforts to protect ecosystems, biodiversity, and the places we call home. 🌿

At Bow Seat, we’re proud to amplify the voices of Indigenous young people who are using art, creativity, and advocacy to share their perspectives and inspire action.

From powerful student artwork to members of our True Blue Fellowship, swipe through to celebrate some of the Indigenous voices helping shape a healthier, more just, and sustainable future. 💙

‘’My culture is not a backdrop to my conservation work — it is the foundation of it. The Maasai have been guardians of this land for generations. My role is simply to make sure that knowledge is not lost.” - Fredrick Kioko Kilonzo (Kenya): Part of the Maasai community (2025 True Blue Fellow)

Today, we listen, we celebrate, and we recognize that protecting our planet means recognizing and supporting Indigenous leadership.
