Our Territories, Our Health, Our Well-Being

​What does it mean to be well? What does it take to heal? How does self-determination contribute to health and well-being?

​Rooted in Indigenous concepts of well-being, this event celebrates harmony with nature and community. Through documentaries from across South America, it uplifts Indigenous perspectives calling for respect, territory, and autonomy — highlighting Indigenous-led efforts defending life and land at the forest frontier.
