At the end of October in Rome, communities showed how resilient food systems grow from biodiversity, agroecology, and local self-governance, proving real resilience starts from the ground up, not corporate agribusiness. #FoodSovereignty #Agroecology

🔥Earlier this week, the Manitoba Eco-Network had the opportunity to attend the Fireside Chat: Asihcikan, a dialogue hosted in collaboration by Ma Mawi Wi Chi Itata Centre & Harvest Manitoba.

MbEN commends their efforts towards supporting Indigenous food sovereignty, providing resources for Manitobans to build up their communities, and building a strong coalition of cross-organizational solidarity.

Thanks to everyone who chimed in this #SolarPunkSunday ! Next week I'll cover more #FoodSovereignty articles, along with upcoming #RightToRepair and other related topics! TY to @MaQuest , @jblue , @BrambleBearGrrrauwling , and everyone who boosted and shared!

#GatherTheFilm - "Gather is an intimate portrait of the growing movement amongst #NativeAmericans to reclaim their spiritual, political and cultural identities through #FoodSovereignty, while battling the trauma of centuries of genocide.

"Gather follows #NephiCraig, a chef from the #WhiteMountainApacheNation (#Arizona), opening an #IndigenousCafé as a nutritional recovery clinic; Elsie Dubray, a young scientist from the #CheyenneRiverSiouxNation (#SouthDakota), conducting landmark studies on #bison; and the #AncestralGuard, a group of #EnvironmentalActivists from the #YurokNation (Northern #California), trying to save the #KlamathRiver.

Gather is coming to Netflix in the US on November 1, 2021! Gather is now available to stream on iTunes (US/UK/Canada), Amazon (US/UK) and Vimeo-on-Demand (rest of the world)."

#IndigenousResilience: Native American Tribes Pioneer Climate Adaptation with Ancestral Wisdom

"In the global discourse on climate change, the voices and experiences of Indigenous peoples often remain on the periphery, despite their disproportionate vulnerability and their profound, millennia-old understanding of environmental stewardship. Native American tribes across the United States are not merely passive victims of a warming planet; they are at the forefront of climate adaptation, leveraging #TraditionalEcologicalKnowledge (#TEK) to devise innovative and culturally resonant solutions to environmental change. Their strategies offer a compelling blueprint for resilience, emphasizing holistic relationships with the land, water, and all living beings.
Indigenous communities, though comprising less than 5% of the world’s population, protect an estimated 80% of global #biodiversity. This staggering statistic underscores their intimate connection to and unparalleled knowledge of the #NaturalWorld.

"However, this deep reliance on specific ecosystems also makes them acutely susceptible to climate impacts. Rising sea levels threaten coastal tribes, increased wildfires devastate forest-dwelling nations, prolonged droughts imperil agricultural practices in the Southwest, and melting permafrost destabilizes infrastructure in Alaska. For these communities, #ClimateChange is not a distant threat but an immediate, existential crisis eroding their lands, cultures, and ways of life.

"The historical context of colonization, forced displacement, and resource exploitation has exacerbated these vulnerabilities. Stripped of ancestral lands, denied self-governance, and subjected to policies that disrupted traditional land management practices, many tribes now face climate challenges with limited resources and fractured ecosystems. Yet, it is within this crucible of adversity that their resilience shines brightest."
