Welcome to How to Save a Planet.

I'm Dr. Ayanna Elizabeth Johnson.

And I'm Alex Bloomberg and this is the show where we talk about what we need to do to

address climate change and how we make those things happen.

So Alex, this week we're sharing some wisdom from a woman named Sherry Mitchell.

Sherry is an Indigenous Rights Attorney, Author and Activist.

And she's a contributor to the book that you co-edited and all we can save.

And her essay is called Indigenous, Prophecy and Mother Earth.

And near the beginning of that essay, she has a sentence that I find to be really poignant,

which follows on or marks she makes about Indigenous knowledge, having been relegated

to obscurity.

And she writes, ironically, the Indigenous ways of knowing and being that European

colonists saw as primitive and uncivilized are now being actively sought out to save

our environment and humankind from the brink of extinction.

So we're going to dig into that today.

Right.

Well, actually, we're not digging into it.

But two other incredibly capable podcast hosts are we are, once again, as we do from

time to time, sharing the love and sharing an episode of another incredible climate podcast.

This one's called No Place Like Home.

It's co-hosted by Marianne Hit and Anna Jane Joyner.

And you might recognize Marianne's voice.
