“Only stories help us break through old roles that normalize domination, and Hedgebrook is a global campfire.”

“The notable veterans who have died should be genuinely remembered and celebrated. The ones who are blessed enough to be alive and or return home as wounded warriors should be cared for forever. Their spirit was given to uphold this country’s freedom and yours. Those who are walking around may look well, but many are not. There’s a lot this country should do for those past and present.”-- Chief Sachem Vernon “Silent Drum“ Lopez

Organización de Mujeres Indígenas Unidas por la Biodiversidad de Panamá (OMIUB) or “Indigenous Women United for Biodiversity,” is a group founded in 2011 that works to strengthen, develop, and revive Indigenous knowledge in Panama. In 2017 Cultural Survival’s Keepers of the Earth Fund awarded the organization a grant to strengthen the governance of Kuna, Embera, and Wounaan People by conducting workshops on the newly established law of Consultation and Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC).
