Deforestation is just a symptom. The disease is de-governance (commentary)
For decades, deforestation has been treated as the central problem. It’s measured in hectares lost, monitored through satellites, and addressed through conservation programs, carbon mechanisms, and development interventions.Erik Hoffner (Mongabay Environmental News)

Recipes bring #Australia’s native harvest into the kitchen
The Native Harvest Kitchen #cookbook demystifies native ingredients and helps you incorporate #IndigenousFood into everyday meals.
By Dr Dorin Gupta, University of
18 October 2024
Excerpt: "Through the book we hope to show how #Indigenous ingredients such as #murnong can be easily incorporated into our home herb and veggie patches and everyday cooking practices, widening the range of plants we eat (good for our health), and encouraging us to explore variety in agriculture (good for the planet).
" #WarrigalGreens curry is one of the dishes my family enjoys and also makes a lovely light gnocchi. #LillyPilly and #Pigface are perfect for pickles, while #RubySaltbush berries decorating pavlova are festive and joyful."

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🏗️🌾 In #Colombia’s #LaMojana #wetlands, an ancient network of #canals and raised fields the size of #GrandCanyon National Park now appears built by local family cooperatives, not a ruling chiefdom.
Archaeologists calculated crews could have built a canal-ridge system in under two months. The findings suggest these ancient methods could guide modern #water management today.

Inuit artist Helen Konek was 17 years old when she was photographed walking into her family’s igloo in 1949, just outside what was then known as Eskimo Point (now Arviat, Nunavut).
Richard Harrington, a freelance photographer who had an interest in the North, took the photos of Helen while travelling in the Arctic that year.
His work was purchased by Canada's National Archives, the Smithsonian and the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
Helen died July 25 at the age of 95, but is forever immortalized in Harrington's images.
"I'm glad the image went viral, because even up to today, Canadians don't know where Nunavut is. They don't know who Inuit are," - Jordan Konek, Helen's nephew

#Argentina: Members of the indigenous community of Santa Rosa, in Argentina, reported a violent eviction operation carried out on Monday in Jujuy.
At least ten people were injured by rubber bullets. Three homes were completely destroyed by heavy machinery.
The most serious institutional violation involved the removal of children—aged 1, 2, 5, and 7—from the evicted families without proper notification or authorization from their parents.

Deb Haaland's life reads like it shouldn't have led to Washington, DC.
She struggled with alcoholism and got sober in 1988. She was a single mom who relied on food stamps and started a salsa company to get by. She went to college at 28, law school at 40.
Then she became one of the first two Native American women in Congress. Then the first Native American Cabinet secretary in US history, leading the Interior Department. She launched the first federal investigation into Indian boarding schools, protected millions of acres of public land, and brought tribes to the decision-making table.
Now she's running for governor of New Mexico. If elected, she'd be the first Native American woman governor in US history.
A 35th-generation New Mexican and member of the Pueblo of Laguna, she just published her memoir 'A Voice Like Mine.'
Representation isn't symbolic. It changes who gets a seat at the table.

The parallel that the descendants of settlers that emigrated away from Canada have recently been granted more leeway to return as full citizens of Canada than descendants of Indigenous people have been granted to reclaim "status" under the law is a national shame. Indigenous descendants deserve equal recognition under the law
