LAND RIGHTS NOW

Ikihie should make the news.

The Back to the Roots – Spiritual Bonding campaign by the KHOSE Foundation in Suriname, led by Sharmaine Artist, focuses on reconnecting indigenous youth with their ancestral heritage and spirituality as a way to strengthen cultural identity and resilience, for example, by focusing on medicinal plants. It emphasizes traditional practices, intergenerational learning, and collective healing to foster unity and empowerment in the face of Suriname’s social and environmental challenges, such as expanding mining activities. This way, she builds future leaders who can defend their indigenous rights!
