In 1887, the U.S. Government enacted the Dawes Act, a policy designed to break up Native American communal land into individual ownership. This was a direct assault on traditional ways and effectively a land grab, leading many nations to lose over half their ancestral territories.

Despite immense pressure, including threats of starvation and death over six days, the Chiefs of Red Lake firmly rejected the Dawes Act. Their unwavering resolve, driven by a profound love for future generations, strengthened their fight.

This historical resistance continues to inspire. Renee's powerful message today validates and reinforces the ongoing struggle for the Rights of Mother Earth.

Plastic pollution and food insecurity are pressing global challenges. Fortunately, small insects like mealworms offer promising solutions to these issues.

George Shenusay, an environmental science student at UCLA, leads a research team investigating mealworms' ability to consume plastic. His passion for sustainability began after accidentally breeding thousands of mealworms in middle school.

Since 2018, George's team has conducted their work at UCLA’s MIC and BHS lab. This research was presented at a TEDx event. Learn more about TEDx at https://www.ted.com/tedx.
