I understand more about my culture by working on the land. We cannot separate ourselves from the land and when we do we create unhealthy relationships with the land and with each other…We’re disconnected from nature in so many ways. - Alex Thomas

At the end of the day, people need to work together. We can’t just keep pointing fingers…It’s trying to get past blaming the global north and getting to the solutions -Sam Kutyauripo

It’s important to think about scope when involved in climate action, for me it’s if I can make tangible action in my scope of influence. We can’t change the whole world but if we pick a space and work towards changes there…the fact that you tried…that’s worth it. - Sam K.
