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 by learning from their ways of life as we pave our path into 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 mountains and rice terraces of Banaue, Ifugao, Philippines, one of the world's heritage sites and learned from the wisdom of mumbaki/shaman Mamerto "Lagitan" Tindongan. I have communed and learned from Choctaw-Navajo/Chahta-Dineh indigenous wisdom keeper, Patricia Anne Davis and gone through her indigenous ceremonial change process.
So far, I have immersed
to advocate for a livable future for the next thousands of generations globally, this endeavor 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.
