Indigenous Regenerative Food Systems

Exploring Sustainable Foods, Biodiversity, and Keystone Cultures

Overview

A Powerful Learning Journey with Dr. Lyla June

Explore Indigenous regenerative ecosystem designs and reclaim humanity’s role as a keystone species.

Across the globe, humanity is starting to remember its true purpose–which is to be a servant to Mother Earth, rather than a dominator. Native American food systems and regenerative land management practices help us to remember what it means to be a keystone species–a species upon which entire ecosystems depend–and remind us of our inherent abilities to positively cultivate biodiversity and habitat health for all.

In this course, we will:

  • Journey through the four elements humanity has worked with since time immemorial

  • Learn how to respectfully engage with this information and integrate it appropriately

  • Reconnect with our humane role as stewards of land, and as a keystones species

Learning Journey

  • In this session, we will explore the many ways Indigenous fisheries have shown us that thriving societies have the capacity to not only harvest fish at a sustainable rate, but to improve the strength and numbers of our marine relatives and related ecosystems.

  • We will see how human beings have applied gentle and regenerative fire to the land, not only in North and South America, but also in Africa, Australia, Europe, Asia, and beyond. We will see how fire is an instrumental part of sustainable land management by facilitating the nutrient cycle process, and ironically creating nutrient dense grasslands in their way, which provide ample footage for herbivore populations.

  • In this session, we will explore ways that Indigenous Nations the world over, have not only not depleted their top soils, but have contributed to the depth of topsoil through millennial scale management of regional soil systems.

  • We will explore how the invisible world of the human mind and the human heart, which contains our cultural softwares and value systems, are just as vital as the invisible air that we breathe. We will see that strategy is actually not as important as intention when it comes to ecosystem management by highlighting the weightless, invisible, yet highly consequential effect that our worldview and self image has on how we impact the land around us.
