“If people can’t acknowledge the wisdom of indigenous cultures, then that’s their loss.”

Looking back to the previous forest fires, during those times we saw many trees fell to the ground terribly although its green leaves were still attached and the trunk looked firm.
It looked fine on the surface, but as peat fires burn underground, the roots were attacked first. The strong roots turned into ashes and the tree lose its foundation.
Just like the trees, we humans have our roots too and it needs the most protection. If we want to fight for the justice of indigenous peoples, what we need to strengthen is the very core: connection to the roots.
