Humanity and Nature together

When Judaism and Christianity rose to become the dominant religious force in Western society, their sole god – as well as sacredness and salvation – were re-positioned outside of nature. The Old Testament taught that God made humans in his own image and gave them dominion over the Earth.

Humanity and nature are not separate – we must see them as one to fix the climate crisis

From transport and housing to food production and fashion, our civilisation is driving climate and ecological breakdown. It’s no coincidence that almost every single sector of industry is contributing to the planet’s downfall, either. A deeper issue underlies each one’s part in the malaise enveloping the planet’s ecosystems – and its origins date back to long before the industrial revolution.

Tlingit Tattoo

“That is a big difference I think in looking at the revival of any sort of cultural practice, is it takes a lot of courage to do it, and then maintain and uphold it. ”

Tlingit tattoo artist reclaims power, poke by poke, through healing ‘beauty marks’

When I set out to tell this story, I knew it would be important. As a young, fair complexioned Tlingit [KLING-khit] woman who struggles with claiming her own roots and cultural identity, I knew that I would be entering a sensitive arena touching close to home.

Greta’s got Competition

Autumn’s citation reads that she “is an Indigenous girl and a passionate water ambassador. She is fighting for the right of Indigenous Canadian peoples and children to have access to clean water while at the same time acting as the voice for all against the abuse of clean water as our most important natural resource.

Thunderbirds Raised Her

”WE,” the debut music video from Thunderbirds Raised Her. “WE” is a powerful anthem inspired by the strength and commitment of the Indigenous Water Protectors who laid it all on the line at Standing Rock, in support of the positive, life-affirming Spirit of Resistance sweeping the globe. Thunderbirds Raised Her are three sisters from the Lummi Nation, Katherine Jefferson, Billie Lynn Kennedy J and Dani Kili Kennedy Jefferson. This is StyleHorse’s second collaboration with TRH–they also lent their exquisite voices to “We Shall Remain”. A special thanks to Lynnette Kennedy of the Cena-Kin Nakota Oyate (CTK) Saskatchewan, Canada, the girl’s mother and manager, for making this video possible! Special Thanks to Jihan Hafiz and Unicorn Riot!

the 2017 tax bill opened it for oil and gas leasing – an action which could be undone by a future Administration.”
