Today, on the International Day of Indigenous Peoples, we invite you to think about the theme of this year’s Day: “Leaving no one behind: Indigenous peoples and the call for a new social contract.” Learn more about the Day here: un.org/en/observances… UN Human Rights
This #GivingTuesday, consider donating to two excellent non-profits, both focused on providing aid & education to Indigenous communities: the @Olanakwe Community Fund, focused on the Hadzabe, and the helen elizabeth davis, working with the Tsimane and Kunene.
Featuring the work of Herman Pontzer, Alyssa Crittenden, Brian Wood, Mel Konner, and others. Special shoutout to The @Olanakwe Community Fund & the Hadza Fund, both of which directly support the Hadzabe.
Thank you for such a strong response Dorsa Amir. The harm of talking about Indigenous peoples as “wild humans” is very real. Thank you for being a friend to Olanakwe Community Fund 💜
