The Next System: Indigenous Worldviews

Building a “next system” to supplant the current systemic drivers of our economic and political crises should include the wisdom of Indigenous cultures rooted in non-capitalist social and economic forms that center life and nature. This panel discussion hosted by The Democracy Collaborative features Freida Jacques, Turtle Clan Mother of the Onondaga Nation; Jeff Corntassel of the Cherokee Nation and professor of Indigenous studies at the University of Victoria; and Miki’ala Catalfano, a Hawai’i resident and co-director of Native Roots Network. Moderating is Stephanie Gutierrez, a member of the Oglala Sioux Tribe of South Dakota and founder of Hope Nation LLC. Introdicing the panel is Joe Guinan, president of The Democracy Collaborative.
