“We are the canaries in the mine. If we go, the last ecosystems go. So does the wisdom of how to sustain resources, live in balance with nature, and create communities based on cooperation, not competition. I think the rest of the world is searching for these values. I know we're here to share them. But we can only share them if we're here.” IfsThinkingKnowsWorldDoeLastsValuesCommunityEnvironmentShareMinesBalanceSurvivalResourcesCompetitionCooperationEcosystemsCanaries Author:Rebecca Adamson
“In every Indigenous community I've been in, they absolutely do want community infrastructure and they do want development, but they want it on their own terms. They want to be able to use their national resources and their assets in a way that protects and sustains them. Our territories are our wealth, the major assets we have. And Indigenous people use and steward this property so that they can achieve and maintain a livelihood, and achieve and maintain that same livelihood for future generations.” PeopleWayWantUseAbleTermCommunityWealthGenerationsAchieveDevelopmentProtectMajorsResourcesPropertyAssetsTerritoryInfrastructureIndigenousFuture GenerationLivelihoodStewardsIndigenous People Author:Rebecca Adamson
