Indigenous Peoples are heavily represented among migrant farmworkers in the United States, and they are highly impacted by COVID-19, due to the exclusion of undocumented people from most benefits, as well as other structural inequities in access to health and other resources that affect both documented and undocumented people. Watch this panel held by Cultural Survival in partnership with International Funders for Indigenous Peoples.
Hear about how local, Indigenous knowledge, and ancestral ways are used to cope with the COVID-19 pandemic to heal and to rebuild and how traditional agriculture and Indigenous agroecology ensure food sovereignty and food security in the short and long term.
Panelists: Million Belay, Alliance for Food Sovereignty in Africa, General Coordinator
Tui Shortland (Māori), Awatea Organics, Founder
Jesús Antonio Guagivioy (Kamentsá), FUNSEVIPAZ, Coordinator
Indigenous Peoples are disproportionately affected by COVID-19. Learn about need to present information disaggregated by Indigenous Peoples. Hear about Indigenous-led efforts to map COVID-19 in Indigenous communities in the USA, Colombia, Ecuador, and Mexico.
Join us for a discussion on how Indigenous cultures and knowledge continue to be appropriated and exploited for profit. Topics covered will include exploitations of Indigenous arts and designs, traditional medicine, food, and imagery.
Join @CulturalSurvival @IFIPphilanthropy @justicefunders @NoVoFoundation @ndncollective [Sixth-world.com] for this important conversation on #Indigenizingphilathropy and how Indigenous women are leading the way towards this transformation.
