Can Indigenous wisdom help solve our modern planetary crises?
In short: Lawyer Jennifer "Jing" Corpuz argues that the principles used by her Kankanaey-Igorot ancestors can offer a roadmap for repairing the systemic harms caused by colonialism.
The video explores how Indigenous values can address the ecological and social crises triggered by colonial systems. Corpuz draws on the legacy of the Kankanaey-Igorot people of the Philippines, specifically referencing the Banaue Rice Terraces. These centuries-old irrigated mountain terraces serve as a profound example of how humanity can live in harmony with the natural world while resisting modern development aggression.
