This event was hosted during the “Gender Day” by the Women’s Earth and Climate Action Network. The panel was comprised of Indigenous women from around the world who met to share their solutions to climate change. Speakers included Indigenous women leaders on the front lines of defending the Earth from exploitation by fossil fuel companies such as Patricia Gualinga (Kichwa; Sarayaku, Ecuador), her niece, Nina Gualinga, Tantoo Cardinal (Native Canadian from the tar sands region of Canada), Sonia Guajajara (state of Maranhão, Brazil), and Casey Camp-Horinek (Ponca Nation, Turtle Island, United States). They call us to resist and act against corporations and governments that keep on destroying Mother Earth as this is not only about Nature, it is our destruction as well. Photo credit: Democracy Now
