Indigenous Peoples steward 80% of the planet’s biodiversity and are on the frontlines of the climate and environmental crises, yet the threats they face remain under-reported by the media.

International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples Indigenous communities often have unique insights and perspectives on their own environments and resources. By supporting and funding indigenous-led research projects that utilize Indigenous Knowledge (IK) and local knowledge, collected year-round over millennia, data can be collected, analyzed and re-used in a way to study mercury contamination in the Arctic that is culturally appropriate and relevant to indigenous communities. https://lnkd.in/dWcFkC8u When indigenous communities have access to data and training in data analysis, they are empowered to make informed decisions about development and resource management. By empowering indigenous communities in decision-making, this helps to ensure that decisions are made in a way that respects indigenous rights and priorities. #DataReuse #IndigenousDay #IndigenousPeoplesDay

"Indigenous youths in particular are most crucial to engage. They are custodians of Indigenous Knowledge with the responsibility and capacity to ensure the perpetuation of sustainable practices that the world can learn and benefit from. They can weave together Indigenous and non-Indigenous knowledge systems to address present demands without compromising those of future generations, ensuring that vulnerable populations are not left behind."

Today is the International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples, to remind us that the struggle of Indigenous Peoples is ongoing, and that they are at the forefront of the movement against climate injustices. InsightShare is honoured to have worked with more than 30 Indigenous community partners across 5 continents over the past 20 years! We share their vision for a fair and just society. The stories we bring to you today are stories of resistance and wisdom from Indigenous storytellers and filmmakers. These stories remind us to stand in solidarity with Indigenous communities worldwide in building a fair and just future where we all live in harmony with nature and ecosystems. Decolonisation means an end to inequality, respect for the diversity of knowledges and life ways, respecting our non-human relatives, and demanding an end to extractive, profit-driven practices which are poisoning our beautiful planet.
