 28 speeches and reflections from Indigenous leaders around the world

Wisdom for our times, nourishment for our collective, and a pathway forward toward sustainable, interconnected futures

Indigenous worldviews, and the knowledge they confer, are critical for human survival and the wellbeing of future generations. Wahinkpe Topa (Four Arrows) and Darcia Narvaez present and discuss 28 powerful excerpted passages from Indigenous leaders, including Mourning Dove, Robin Wall Kimmerer, Winona LaDuke, and Xiuhtezcatl Martinez. Accompanied by the authors’ own analyses, each chapter reflects the wisdom of Indigenous worldview precepts like:

  • Egalitarian rule versus hierarchical governance
  • A fearless trust in the universe, instead of a fear-based culture
  • The life-sustaining role of ceremony
  • Emphasizing generosity and the greater good instead of pursuing selfish goals and for personal gain
  • The laws of nature as the highest rules for living

The authors emphasize our deep need to move away from the dominant Western paradigm--one that dictates we live without strong social purpose, fails to honor the earth as sacred, leads with the head while ignoring the heart, and places individual “rights” over collective responsibility. Restoring the Kinship Worldview is rooted in an Indigenous vision and strong social purpose that sees all life forms as sacred and sentient--that honors the wisdom of the heart, and grants equal standing to rights and responsibilities. All author proceeds from Restoring the Kinship Worldview are donated to Indigenous non-profit organizations working on behalf of Indigenous Peoples.

Inviting readers into a world-sense that expands beyond perceiving and conceiving to experiencing and being, Restoring the Kinship Worldview is a salve for our times, a nourishment for our collective, and a holistic orientation that leads us away from extinction toward an integrated, sustainable future.

Highly recommend for folks to understand more about Indigenous or relational worldview. Great resource for folks looking to decolonize and/or elevate their DEI initiatives to a whole new level. Indigenous worldview has been pushed to the margins for too long -- and it's the antidote that is needed for many societal ills.

Antidote to colonial systems
