Sarkisian Workshop Series: Centering Indigenous Climate Narratives in Climate Action
Original framing: “Sarkisian workshop series: Indigenous climate narratives with Diane Wilson” — bing news
The workshop foregrounds Indigenous knowledge systems, emphasizing their relational understanding of ecosystems and the role of stewardship. It showcases how Indigenous narratives articulate climate impacts through lived experience and cultural continuity, offering alternative epistemologies to dominant scientific discourse.
By weaving Indigenous epistemologies, historical reckonings of colonial extraction, and artistic‑spiritual narratives, the workshop reframes climate change as a relational crisis rather than a purely technical problem.
Cross‑cultural dialogue exposes the limits of Western models while highlighting the need for future scenarios that honor intergenerational stewardship. Marginalised voices become central to policy design, yet scientific rigor and trickster insight remain under‑developed, pointing to gaps that systemic solutions must address.
