The National Tribal and Indigenous Climate Conference 2024 is scheduled to take place from September 9th to September 11th in Alaska, USA. This event will bring together our Indigenous relatives, partners, and delegates from around the world to share their insights on addressing climate impacts on their environments. It will be a space for sharing and honoring Traditional and Indigenous Knowledge while respecting that these teachings rightfully belong to the Indigenous communities and individuals from which they originate. Cultural Survival’s Avexnim Cojti attended the conference, and we interviewed some of the attendees. Cheepache-Nitty is a Mono/Chukchansi Indigenous youth who shares her values of stewarding for Mother Earth and her current work as a land steward and research associate for Yosemite Ancestral Stewards, who engage youth from five tribes to protect parklands.

Fossil fuels and other conventional energy sources release many greenhouse gases that harm the environment. For this reason, there is global talk of the need for a transition towards the use of cleaner energy sources and the development of technologies such as battery storage systems, and other cleaner sources of energy. However, for the creation of these energy sources, so-called “transition minerals” are necessary, the extraction of which increases the danger of new displacements and the dispossession of territories from Indigenous Peoples. The intention of this series is to inform and educate Indigenous Peoples about their right to free, prior and informed consent when it comes to minerals found on our lands and territories!

I bring the idea of reducing, reusing and rethinking to the table instead of reducing, reusing and recycling. My mission is to educate people about plastic and share why recycling should not be completely relied on. Learn ways I’ve changed and what drives me toward this passion. I hope I can inspire others to do their part also. Since I was young, I have heard of one singular phrase that has changed my perspective on life -- Tikkun Olam. This Jewish phrase refers to the concept of repairing the world. The idea resides within me every day and has guided me toward the urgent issue of plastic pollution. I began to question my own actions after an outdoor educational opportunity I had in elementary school, monitoring bluebird boxes. I witnessed firsthand how my own negative actions were reflected in the ecosystem in my area. Today, I strive to repair the world and educate everyone around me about the difference we can make together.
