- And that means the relationship that you have with your land and territories, with your neighbors, with your family members, with the planet and with the spiritual world.
- We just want you to listen to us and that and therefore we all can protect our planet and our home.
- This is a home for everyone, for all of us, for everyone.

Indigenizing is a multifaceted approach aimed at recognizing and honoring Indigenous peoples’ knowledge, wisdom, and contributions, while challenging and transforming systems of oppression and marginalization that have historically suppressed their cultural identities and ways of life. It seeks to empower Indigenous communities to regain control over their own narratives, histories, and identities. It involves recognizing and respecting indigenous ways of knowing, learning, and being, and integrating them into various aspects of contemporary society. This process can occur in various domains, such as education, governance, art, environmental stewardship, health care, and more.
