<i><span class="_4n-j fsl">In the face of a colonial climate
catastrophe, Indigenous women are at the forefront of impact and
resistance. As we articulate connections between the land and
our bodies, our struggle for liberation from extractive industry
becomes deeply personal. Indigenous philosophies provide a
framework for the rights of nature, and remind us of our
responsibility to fight for climate justice that necessarily
starts with decolonization.</span></i><br>
