Welcome to the Earth Guardians.

Join us as we share videos created by inspiring young Indigenous leaders who attended our 2024 Indigenous Youth Initiative (IYI) Training! Through their unique perspectives and experiences in unison with expertise and mentorship from trainers such as Heather Milton-Lightening, Teena Pugliese, & Alethea Phillips, these trainees are amplifying native voices and leadership and centering traditional practices as one of the powerful ways to address pressing global issues and climate injustices.

Faced with the exhaustion caused by inequitable systems & driven by a passion for justice, trainees boost their skills in working across various areas as frontline activists, inspiring leaders, and change-makers.

As an IYI Crew, they aim to shape a future rooted in Indigenous values and stewardship, shifting focus towards cultivating an Indigenous future where respect for the Earth and our cultural heritage is restored.

Our laughably inefficient buildings account for some 40% of all U. S. primary energy use and associated greenhouse gas emissions. At the same time, our built environment also very often sickens, oppresses and alienates the humans who inhabit it. Bioneers is thrilled to bring together for the first time two of the most visionary architects of our time, who, coming on very different career paths, are both at the forefront of radically expanding our sense of what a truly healthy, nature-honoring and socially equitable built environment could look like.

Deanna Van Buren, the co-founder and Executive Director of Designing Justice and Designing Spaces, is a leading figure in the movement to build “restorative” infrastructure that addresses in its very design the root causes of mass incarceration—poverty, racism, unequal access to resources, and the criminal justice system itself.

Jason McLennan, arguably the most influential “green” architect of our era, has set a high bar, showing us what truly “living,” genuinely regenerative buildings can be. Can these two very different but equally imperative re-visionings of how we rethink the built environment be reconciled/synthesized?

This conversation was moderated/hosted by Dawn Danby, co-founder of Spherical.
