A panel discussion, hosted by The Democracy Collaborative, explores integrating Indigenous wisdom into a "next system" to address economic and political crises. This new system would center life and nature, drawing from non-capitalist social and economic forms.

The panel features Freida Jacques (Turtle Clan Mother, Onondaga Nation), Jeff Corntassel (Cherokee Nation, University of Victoria), and Miki'ala Catalfano (Hawai'i resident, co-director of Native Roots Network). Stephanie Gutierrez (Oglala Sioux Tribe, founder of Hope Nation LLC) moderates, with Joe Guinan (President, The Democracy Collaborative) providing the introduction.
