Highlighted moments
Settler colonialism is a system of domination, where a group of people that has, you know, their own way of life, they go to a place where other groups of people live that have their own ways of life. And the first group just literally imposes its own way of life on the other group and actually seeks to eliminate and erase the original groups that were there.
“indigenous people are not in the wrong place at the wrong time. Rather, indigenous people have been put in a position against their will to experience the brunt of climate change.”
“Indigenous areas with people in them are outperforming dedicated conservation areas.”
“I actually think in a lot of ways, the consent way is faster and more likely to build speed.”
