How do we Rematriate Wealth during this Season of Giving?
"Compared to repatriation, which is individualistic and gendered, implying that only the masculine energy is in control of returning and receiving, rematriation is an act of returning, or aligning with the collective under the stewardship and leadership of women. Shifting towards rematriation better reflects the natural laws of reciprocity and equality, given that the sacred feminine is what nourishes and sustains all living things." -- Galina Angarova (Buryat) and Daisee Francour (Oneida)
During this season of generosity, we invite you, our community, to begin to shift the ways we collectively give. Check out our new Indigenizing Philanthropy Series to learn first hand from Indigenous women, the ways to transform how we are in relationship with one another and share resources across communities.
Cultural Survival's Indigenizing Philanthropy Series is a five-part article series accompanied with a webinar on December 15 and toolkit to provide a framework in how to transform and Indigenize philanthropy. Co-authored by Cultural Survival's Executive Director, Galina Angarova (Buryat) and Director of Strategic Partnerships and Communications, Daisee Francour (Oneida), both authors have unique experiences as Indigenous women who have worked both in philanthropy as program officers for private foundations and as fundraisers for NGOs. Angarova and Francour, Indigenous women from the United States and Russia (Siberia), offer their dynamic expertise and shed an important light on how philanthropy can take a serious, introspective look at its colonial roots and take authentic actions to remedy its future in a way that is aligned with natural law and responsible ways of being and knowing.
