Evolving Worldviews and their Impacts: Bringing in Indigenous Perspectives

Abstract

Worldviews shape our relationship to the life around us. Today’s ecological crisis is primarily driven by human activity, leaving us with the impression that humans inherently have a negative impact on the planet. However, indigenous cultures have persisted for millennia, living in ways that promote biodiversity and create conditions of mutual thriving. We'll discuss some of the values held in Indigenous worldviews and see how humans can have a positive impact on the world around them!
