Indigenous conservation methods are being used, and prove to be extremely effective, as Indigenous stewardship methods can create a drastic change when it comes to the climate crisis. Yet, at the same time, use of Indigenous conservation methods by non-Indigenous folks when it comes to curbing the wildfires in California pose a grave reminder of the genocide and forced removal of Indigenous practices that have existed, and the many years that Indigenous peoples were banned from using practices such as these. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b179c0ba395c7747271d21/1629494727022-ANZU8XVI3MVD1XWX31GX/brazil-environment-wildfires.jpg Articles - The Impact of Wildfires on Indigenous Communities - Make it stand out Wildfires in the Amazon. https://www.theindigenousfoundation.org/articles/lack-of-clean-drinking-water-in-indigenous-communities monthly 0.5 2022-07-26 https://www.theindigenousfoundation.org/articles/consultation-and-consent-in-canadian-law monthly 0.5 2021-08-13 https://www.theindigenousfoundation.org/articles/the-legacy-of-shannen-koostachin-and-shannens-dream monthly 0.5 2021-08-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b179c0ba395c7747271d21/1628385098402-9L3W27Q67KKKC31KZ7ZN/MAC35_CHARLIE-ANGUS-EXCERPT_POST01.jpg Articles - The Legacy of Shannen Koostachin and Shannen’s Dream - Make it stand out Shannen and her Grade 8 classmates at Parliament. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b179c0ba395c7747271d21/1628385168588-Z9YZWMFJEYM86Z6CRQ06/Screen+Shot+2021-08-07+at+9.10.50+PM.png Articles - The Legacy of Shannen Koostachin and Shannen’s Dream - Make it stand out Inaugural Statue of Shannen Koostachin. https://www.theindigenousfoundation.org/articles/indigenous-mental-health-and-suicide monthly 0.5 2022-07-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b179c0ba395c7747271d21/1627665862711-4T126E09BRBN7C6JAAMZ/170623-first-nation-canada-suicide-2-ew-619p.jpg Articles - Indigenous Mental Health and Suicide - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.theindigenousfoundation.org/articles/forced-and-coerced-sterilization-of-indigenous-women monthly 0.5 2022-06-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b179c0ba395c7747271d21/1627060016735-8YOJ91VW4G3NXDSTE917/unnamed-1.jpg Articles - Forced and Coerced Sterilization of Indigenous Women - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.theindigenousfoundation.org/articles/the-true-story-behind-disneys-pocahontas monthly 0.5 2022-07-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b179c0ba395c7747271d21/1627083842374-N8YLSM5SDZT3HP7BWYQC/Screen+Shot+2021-07-23+at+7.43.47+PM.png Articles - The True Story Behind Disney’s Pocahontas - Pocahontas was a MMIW.
