Indigenous Planetary Health Collective

“We bring a plurality of expertise across health sciences, social sciences, humanities, lived experience, ethical practice, and Indigenous, common, and natural law, and we use Indigenous-led approaches that are critical, theoretical, methodological, and substantive in nature.  Our International Indigenous Advisory Circle holds a wealth of expertise in Indigenous planetary health, Indigenous resurgence, ecosystem science, Indigenous health sciences, Indigenous governance and laws, and Indigenous arts practice and curation.”
