Indigenous peoples from around the world have been warning us, in some cases for millennia, that the extractivist mindset, that is now upending both ecosystems and communities of people, would end in collapse if it was not confronted and changed. It’s challenging to hear about collapsing ecosystems and the global climate spiraling out of balance, but by acknowledging this reality, we are able to orient ourselves and respond accordingly to the crises. Part of the environmental movement not so concerned with energy and economy, are people who are turning our attention to Indigenous knowledge, interventions and older cultures. One example being over-fishing.
