At a virtual event parallel to the UNPFII, Indigenous women leaders from North America highlighted their critical role in defending biodiversity, human rights, and the global climate. They advocated for Indigenous rights, sovereignty, and Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC).

Speakers urged global governments and financial institutions to respect Indigenous knowledge, ways of life, and the right to say "no" to continued extraction. They stressed that this is paramount for addressing climate and environmental crises, presenting solutions grounded in Indigenous expertise for protecting communities and Mother Earth.

#LandBack has become a rallying cry in Indigenous circles and beyond from coast to coast, but what does #Landback really mean, and how can we be a part of this movement? In this panel, leaders in the #Landback movement will share different approaches to the return and “rematriation” of ancestral territories. For tribal members, the discussion will include organizational, fundraising, and legal strategies. For non-Natives, panelists will share how to be a good ally for #Landback. Moderated by Cara Romero. With: PennElys Droz; Corrina Gould; Tom Little Bear Nason; Kawenniiosta Jock.

This talk was delivered at the 2023 Bioneers Conference.

We are living in a very exciting time as we witness more instances of successful Indigenous-led #landback campaigns and triumphs over the extraction industry than ever before, but we are also becoming increasingly aware that we cannot restore relations with the land without addressing our own trauma. This session will explore such critical questions as: How might the fight for #landback benefit from the inclusion of Black people and other historically marginalized groups? Does ‘call out culture’ actually harm decolonization movements?  In addition to frankly exploring these issues, the panelists will share practical strategies for addressing them using such tools as an intergenerational focus, ceremony, and time on the land.  Moderated by Eriel Deranger. With: Jodie Geddes and Carlee Loft.

Erin Matariki Carr is from the Maori tribal nations and lives in Taneatua in the east of the North Island of Aotearoa New Zealand. Matariki is a member of RIVER and a lawyer working within the intergenerational movement of Maori resistance that is now surging towards constitutional transformation in honor of the treaty Te Tiriti o Waitangi 1840 between the British Crown and sovereign hapori. An important story in this movement has been the granting of legal personality to Te Urewera rainforest, the homelands of Ng�i TÅ«hoe. Here, Tahoe aims to “disrupt the false notion of human superiority over the land” by removing human ownership and management, and providing a new kawa (or law) that starts with “human management for the benefit of the land”.

Erin Matariki Carr previously worked as Manager of Planning & Design to create and implement policies under the world-first legislation conferring legal personhood to the Te Urewera rainforest. Matariki is currently a project lead at RIVER, where she focuses on the constitutional transformation movement in Aotearoa with a number of other teams, including TÅ«manako Consultants and Te Kuaka NZA.
