🌿 New publication: "Important intergenerational transmission of knowledge in promotion of well-being and cultural identity in Greenland." I am excited to share our latest article, co-authored with Inunnguaq Mørch, Nuka Olsen, and Kamilla Nortoft which explores the "Kinguaariit Inuunerissut" initiative — meaning “Generations in Well-Being” in Greenlandic. This project was developed to promote cultural identity and intergenerational connection through meaningful, locally rooted activities in Greenland. 👥 By involving both younger and older generations, this initiative has demonstrated the power of culturally relevant and nature-based activities to build bonds across generations and strengthen community cohesion 🌱 The positive outcomes from this work are now inspiring a broader KI-concept, aimed at integrating these principles into early childhood education, after-school programs, and schools. Our hope is that the KI-concept will make Greenlandic culture, knowledge, skills and values accessible to more families and communities, supporting well-being and fostering connections across generations 💪🌏 🔗 Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/d8ibbVsR.

Start your day slowly and thoughtfully by Repenting, Reconciling and Restoring. This Reconciliation Week, DHUWA Coffee joins the national conversation about acknowledging and healing past wrongs. We recognise the deep impact of colonisation on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. Repentance is the first step. We must recognise the harm caused and take responsibility for our role, however unintentional. Reconciliation is the ongoing journey towards a more just and equitable future. It's about building trust and respect through genuine engagement. Restoration is the act of rebuilding what was lost. It involves supporting programs that empower Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and celebrate their cultures. At DHUWA Coffee, we're committed to reconciliation, as a market leading 100% Indigenous owned company and through our partnerships with Indigenous communities, leaders and suppliers. #Indigenous #FirstNations #ReconciliationWeek #Reflect #Supportindigenousbusiness #NRW2024 #EthicalCoffee

The Barkly Regional Deal (BRD) For the past two & half years I’ve been the independent chairman of the Barkly Regional Deal. The first regional deal, the 10-year, $100.5 million commitment from the three tiers of government is to improve the productivity and liveability of the Barkly region by stimulating economic growth, improving social outcomes and supporting Aboriginal leadership. One of my role as the independent chairman is to ensure that the voices of community are not just heard, but are listened too by the government partners. Change won’t happen overnight, but it will happen in time, especially when peole are empowered to lead. The Barkly Regional Deal is a model that should be rolled out across the country. It’s a model that brings all key stakeholders to the table to develop a shared vision and collective solution. #PlaceBased #Development #collaboration #Indigenous #Community

Indigenous peoples have managed the land sustainably for thousands of years, demonstrating deep ecological knowledge passed down through generations. The land is central to Aboriginal spirituality, often regarded as an extension of the people themselves. It is woven into their songs, stories, and ceremonies, which speak of a relationship that goes beyond ownership. Aboriginal culture emphasises custodianship, where the land is cared for and nurtured, ensuring its health for future generations.🌄💚 👉At The Keeping Place, we promote initiatives that empower Traditional Owner Groups to manage and protect their lands in ways that reflect their cultural values. Supporting Aboriginal land management practices is not only about environmental sustainability; it is about recognising and respecting Indigenous knowledge systems that have endured for millennia. The significance of the land is evident in the stories that accompany it. Sacred sites hold immense cultural and spiritual value, representing the connection between the people and their ancestors. These sites serve as reminders of the history, traditions, and responsibilities that come with being a custodian of the land. Unfortunately, colonisation and modern development have threatened this connection, often leading to the dislocation of communities and the erosion of cultural practices. Recognising the importance of land rights and advocating for Indigenous stewardship is vital to ensuring that Aboriginal people can maintain their connection to the land.✊ As we work towards reconciliation and mutual respect, let us honour the deep relationship that Aboriginal peoples have with their land. By valuing and supporting their connection to the land, we contribute to the preservation of Indigenous culture and identity. In conclusion, the connection to land is at the heart of Aboriginal culture. It is a source of wisdom, spirituality, and identity. Let us celebrate and support this connection as we work together towards a future where Indigenous knowledge and practices are respected and integrated into the broader narrative of Australia. #ConnectionToLand #SustainablePractices #TheKeepingPlace

On June 21, #NationalIndigenousPeoplesDay, we honor the history, culture, and contributions of Indigenous communities across Turtle Island, including Innu and Inuit communities, acknowledging their collective, traditional, and unceded territories. As a network engaged in substance use research, we embrace the guiding principle of Etuaptmumk - Two-Eyed Seeing as shared by Elders Albert and Murdena Marshall, integrating Indigenous knowledge with Western science to foster holistic insights and promote continuous commitment to learn, engage and share knowledge. Today, we celebrate the profound impacts Indigenous peoples have had on our world. By embracing Indigenous ways of knowing, we continue to rebuild and strengthen the networks of wisdom that have stood the test of time. We honor and support Indigenous businesses, artists, and cultural heritage, recognizing the invaluable contributions these bring to our shared future. Together, we work to co-create a future where all communities thrive. Let's persist with our dedication to justice, healing, and unity. #IndigenousPeoplesDay #TwoEyedSeeing #Reconciliation #DecolonizeResearch

Today is #IndigenousPeoplesDay, and Indigenous life promotion practices are most effective when they are developed and implemented by Indigenous communities themselves. https://lnkd.in/g_6_55V #NIPD2024

🌍 Nunavut's Creation: A Global Example of Indigenous Allyship and UNDRIP Principles in Action 🌍 As we mark significant milestones since the creation of Nunavut, it's pivotal to consider the broader implications of this historical event, not just within Canada but as a global example of indigenous allyship and the principles of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) brought to life. Nunavut’s establishment as a territory represents a profound exercise in allyship between the Canadian government and the Inuit people. It showcases how collaboration and mutual respect for the rights and aspirations of Indigenous Peoples can lead to meaningful self-determination. This journey towards creating Nunavut underscores the importance of listening to, supporting, and standing in solidarity with Indigenous communities in their quest for autonomy and governance over their lands and resources. Moreover, Nunavut embodies the spirit of UNDRIP, which asserts Indigenous Peoples' right to self-determination, cultural preservation, and participation in decision-making. The process leading to Nunavut's creation, grounded in the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement, serves as a concrete example of UNDRIP principles in action, demonstrating the potential for Indigenous and non-Indigenous cooperation to achieve significant outcomes in governance and community development. The global community can learn much from Nunavut's example, especially in the context of upholding and implementing UNDRIP. It illustrates the practical steps nations can take to recognize and act upon the rights of Indigenous Peoples effectively. Through genuine allyship and adherence to international frameworks like UNDRIP, we can support Indigenous communities worldwide in their efforts to protect their cultures, lands, and rights. As professionals, policymakers, and global citizens, let's draw inspiration from Nunavut’s story to foster stronger allyship with Indigenous communities. By advocating for the application of UNDRIP principles in our respective spheres of influence, we contribute to a more just, equitable, and respectful world for all Indigenous Peoples. Let Nunavut's journey remind us of the power of allyship and the critical role of international frameworks like UNDRIP in advancing Indigenous rights and self-determination worldwide. #Nunavut #IndigenousRights #UNDRIP #GlobalAllyship #IndigenousSelfDetermination #CulturalPreservation #SustainableDevelopment

As we move through NAIDOC week, it is important to recognise that the South Australian Museum has possession of around 3,700 South Australian Indigenous ancestoral remains and 4,000 restricted (secret, sacred) objects, which have been removed from country, documented, stored, sampled, researched and are now slowly being returned to the descendants of those ancestors. The return of stolen ancestors and objects is an important process. It is critical that the decendants of these ancestors are resourced adequately, to ensure that the return to and restoration on country is done in a culturally appropriate and inclusive, not tokenistic fashion. The Warlpiri Project is a step toward this.

Today is National Indigenous Peoples Day. National Indigenous Peoples Day was put in place to recognize and honour the history, diversity, and culture of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. The celebratory day recognizes Indigenous peoples’ rich culture and impactful contributions through art, community values, and much more. It is crucial that we recognize the ongoing impacts of colonization, and the many oppressive systems Indigenous people experience daily in so-called Canada. At Mom2Mom, we strive to learn from Indigenous perspectives, and aim to uplift indigenous culture, traditions, values, and spirituality. The majority of participant moms in our community identify as Indigenous. It is extremely important for us to listen and uplift Indigenous peoples and do our part to dismantle systems that harm them and their families. We encourage any non-Indigenous followers and community members to listen and learn from Indigenous voices, reflecting thoughtfully today and every day.
