Sponsor A Project:
Revitalizing Indigenous Wisdom for a
Livable Future
carry magnificent wisdom about how to cultivate Earth’s resources for us and the incoming generations. They ensured we have resources to enjoy to this very day. To offer homage to their legacies, I intend to help revitalize their wisdom and practices so we can learn from their ways of life as we pave our path to our livable future.
Indigenous cultures
of the Philippines, my journey would entail visiting various indigenous communities in the islands to learn their wisdom, practices, and traditions. Specifically, my clan roots are connected to the Tagalog community. Tagalog is a merging of two words "taga" and "ilog" which means "from the river." Extending to my global roots, I also intend to explore other indigenous communities around the world as well.
Having roots in the islands
in the Philippines that was heavily influenced by the Western and Spanish culture, I was often exposed to Western/ Hispanized/ modern education and media. Although the core and pride of our original culture are still intact within many of us, the full knowing and expression of its essence and beauty is lacking, especially the sacred relationship with our land, leading to the immense degradation of our environment.
As someone who grew up
to advocate for a livable future for the next thousands of generations globally, this project will help nourish the movement of positive action through learning from the legacies of our ancestors. It will inspire collective healing and homecoming around the world back to our Mother Earth.
