In this program, we drop in on a remarkable conversation between two world-renowned Native American women artists. National Poet Laureate and musician Joy Harjo riffs with renowned photographer Cara Romero. They discuss how life is art, and how they make their art to reflect the lived truths of their cultures and people.

Indigenous youth are building real solutions for climate justice, community resilience, and cultural survival.

Recycle Hawaii connects youth from both ends of plastic’s life cycle — from Cancer Alley’s industrial corridor to Hawaii’s polluted shores — with support from the EPA and Bioneers Rights of Nature Initiative.

Youth from the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe are leading a growing movement to “Indigenize the law,” championing Rights of Nature legislation that restores balance between people and the planet.

National Poet Laureate and musician Joy Harjo shares her artistic journey as a Native American woman into what she calls the “story field.” She says that in these times of radical disruption, chaos and disturbance, great creativity also pours forth… and we all play a part in which way the story will go.

This Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we invite you to listen to Indigenous wisdom and remember the history Indigenous Peoples have endured. The struggles we all face today are not new. Indigenous Peoples have long endured these injustices. For every crisis, there is a solution. We remain committed to lifting up stories of restoration and resistance — art transforming consciousness, youth-led legal movements, rivers running free.
