What is Proven Sustainable™ about?
This space is for those who want to take tangible actions to help our planet, engage in deep reflections, and discuss broader systems, histories and beliefs that influence our sustainability struggles and pursuits.
It’s a virtual gathering ground for those who are worn out and weary from modern prioritizations of power, separation, control, and ceaseless doing.
We are here to acknowledge, honor, learn from, and support those who have survived the tests of climate changes and the attacks of settler colonialism and modernity for centuries.
“They really tried their best to annihilate us completely. But guess what? We’re still here and we haven’t lost those values and those understandings that are so ancient.”
- BEAU DICK, KWAKWAKA'WAKW (KWA KWA KAY WOK) ARTIST
This newsletter and interactive digital area is an extension of provensustainable.org where there are 200+ free education resources featuring Indigenous and Maroon-inspired advocates for ancestral wisdom and Earth harmony to support inquiry-driven learning and dialogue.
Our ancient ancestral beliefs about being human on a living earth have been carried forward by these communities of indomitable survivors whose lives as first Peoples have been grounded in unity, order, wisdom, skill and compassion.
It is not enough to merely study them.
We must stand with them as they continue their ongoing efforts to survive systemic injustices and champion holistic environmental projects.
This is an invitation to connect, to learn and to take action for, together, we may just be the saving remnants this time around.
