ABSTRACT
Indigenous peoples around the world are asserting their right to participate in environmental policymaking and climate change mitigation, from state-level governance to the United Nations. In this multimedia presentation, Colaciello discusses the journey that brought him to making media about the Global South and indigenous peoples leading this movement. He’ll also talk about his ongoing process of refining how he, as a non-indigenous storyteller, serves as an ally and interpreter.
