The Dahdaleh Institute for Global Health Research co-hosted a fascinating and insightful gathering on Indigenous Perspectives on Planetary Healing with the Centre for Indigenous Knowledges and Languages in collaboration with CIFAL York.
We are grateful to our two presenters—Dr. Lewis Williams (associate professor, Indigenous Studies, University of Western Ontario) and Dr. Nicole Redvers (assistant professor, Indigenous Health, Family & Community Medicine, University of North Dakota)—who shared their research, experience, and knowledge with us.
A recording of the August 3 event is available here:
You can dive deeper – Lewis and Nicole have provided the following resources:
- The Alliance for Intergenerational Resilience
- The Determinants of Planetary Health: An Indigenous Consensus Perspective
- Indigenous Natural and First Law in Planetary Health
- Molecular Decolonization: An Indigenous Microcosm Perspective of Planetary Health
This event was held in honour of the International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples, which is today, August 9. This year we are called to celebrate and reclaim the role of Indigenous women in preserving and sharing traditional knowledge.
