Selected speeches from Indigenous leaders around the world–necessary wisdom for our times, nourishment for our collective, and a path away from extinction toward a sustainable, interconnected future. Indigenous worldviews, and the knowledge they confer, are critical for human survival and the wellbeing of future generations. Editors Wahinkpe Topa (Four Arrows) and Darcia Narvaez present 28 powerful excerpted passages from Indigenous leaders, including Mourning Dove, Robin Wall Kimmerer, Winona LaDuke, and Xiuhtezcatl Martinez.
Accompanied by the editors’ own analyses, each chapter reflects the wisdom of Indigenous worldview precepts like:
+ Egalitarian rule versus hierarchical governance
+ A fearless trust in the universe, instead of a fear-based culture
+ The life-sustaining role of ceremony
+ Emphasizing generosity and the greater good instead of pursuing selfish goals and for personal gain
+ The laws of nature as the highest rules for living
