A Great ReMembering
Across watersheds and oceans place-based communities have protected an economy that supports life.
Indigenous Commons is unveiling and rewarding the life-centered economy, made of relationships.
We are a collective, reclaiming our own bio-economies and collaborating with finance innovators to co-design a living financial system for all of us.
From Lake Victoria to the Niger Delta; from Ecuador’s Andes–Amazon corridor to the mountaintops of Peru. Across the Eastern Woodlands of Turtle Island north to Canada, KinHubs are emerging to restore kinship ways of creating value, the foundation that precedes markets.
Learn more about KinHubs: biocultural movements that restore the value-creating capacity of land, life and culture.
“Indigenous peoples make up just 6% of the world’s population, yet we tenure the lands where 80% of Earth’s remaining biodiversity thrives. Our lives are interwoven with the natural systems of the Earth — as all ancestors’ once were.”
“Indigenous Commons is a circle for healing; for power. We can identify medicine of consequence in our local context and initiate it to the world.”
— Emem Okon, Indigenous Commons Guardian, Kebetkache Women of the Niger Delta
