Indigenous peoples around the world have been stewards of land and water, and keepers of Earth’s biodiversity, for millennia. Indigenous peoples have also been on the frontlines of the fight against destructive and extractive practices, including the expansion of fossil fuel infrastructure—a fight that non-Indigenous allies must support if we are to build a sustainable future. Protecting indigenous land rights and centering decolonization is critical for meaningful climate justice action! #IndigenousPeoplesDay

“The relationship we have with everything that Earth offers, it’s about reciprocity. That’s the only way we are going to learn how to shift our culture from an extraction culture to a balanced and harmonious culture with the land.” - Youth activist xiyebeara, member of the Mexican Otomi Toltec Nation
