VOICES OF THE GLOBAL SOUTH

INDIGENOUS Voices of past and present

Here, we share stories that rarely reach the outside world. Human stories, cultural wisdom, and lived experience told to us directly by Indigenous leaders, story tellers and loved community members.

From the rainforests of South America to the deserts of North Africa, from the highlands of East Africa to the villages of South Asia, our blog opens a window into worlds where ancestral traditions still guide daily life.

Through these voices, you are invited to connect with the people, places, and practices that hold timeless knowledge of nature, earth, climate, animals, community, love, tradition and resilience.
