Wisdom Keepers
There are over twenty five channels on YouTube bringing the voices of wisdom keepers to the fore, most of them were founded by indigenous peoples. We support the sharing and preservation of sacred wisdom teachings, the very foundation of sustainability principles and practices, and offer EarthSayers as a "connecting tool" working towards the idea of One Voice through this special collection and other vidoes on EarthSayers such the series, Native Perspectives on Sustainability.
We are grateful to the individuals and organizations who are using the world wide web to present and spread the indigenous voices of sustainability.
