National Geographic Explorer Carlton Ward Jr. and a coalition document the critical fight to save the Florida panther and the Everglades from ecological collapse. Their film, "Path of the Panther," is the culmination of over five years of field research and unprecedented footage, capturing wild panthers as never before. This project inspired the Florida Wildlife Corridor Act, a groundbreaking blueprint for global habitat conservation.

The National Turtle Lodge Elders’ and Knowledge Keepers’ Council calls for a National Day of Prayer on Sunday, June 6, 2021, at various times across Canada. This collective prayer responds to the tragic discovery of 215 children at a Kamloops residential school, honoring all affected by the residential school system.

Elders and Knowledge Keepers will lead ceremonies, lifting Sacred Pipes and lighting Sacred Fires, praying in Original Languages. Their aim is healing, fostering a new relationship based on love and kindness, and supporting today's children through ancestral ways.

All are invited to join this Sunday by participating in their own traditions. A special gathering at Turtle Lodge in July will seek further spiritual guidance for the country's path forward.

They explored the critical need for reconciliation between Indigenous and Western scientific ways of knowing and being. This national-scale dialogue highlighted how such reconciliation is essential for addressing growing stewardship challenges, including climate change, biodiversity loss, and navigating post-COVID-19 impacts.

Corrina Gould, Tribal Chair for the Confederated Villages of Lisjan Nation and a leading Indigenous activist, will discuss "Rematriation" at this year's conference. This practice involves reclaiming traditional land and sacred sites to rebuild cultures, heal colonial wounds, and prioritize women's unique role in this vital undertaking.

Gould co-founded Indian People Organizing for Change and the Sogorea Te’ Land Trust, an urban Indigenous women-led organization based in her ancestral territory (Oakland, CA). Through rematriation, cultural revitalization, and land restoration, the Land Trust calls on all people to heal and transform legacies of colonization.

This keynote was delivered at the 2024 Bioneers Conference. For more talks, visit Bioneers.
