In today’s Leadership Weekly, we feature articles from the pages of NPQ’s Fall and Summer 2021 magazines about Indigenous leadership fighting for our planet’s interlocking systems of climate, food, and land—in other words, fighting for all our lives. One piece looks at how regenerative agriculture addresses environmentalism’s violent history towards Indigenous land rights and the harmful production systems of the past. Another piece demonstrates how sustainable economies can radically transform how we relate to one another across animal and plant life. Our third offering is about an important call to action for land reparations in Indian country. Lastly, we examine the fraught history of American food systems (from the Thanksgiving table and beyond) to tell a new story about food that includes narratives of the land, the people, natural resources, ecosystems, and management—rather than focusing only on consumption.
