Cover Story: indigenous people's day
We are replacing our usual calendar with virtual events and recommendations from StreetWise vendors, readers and staff to keep you entertained at home! The SportsWise team discusses Cleveland's MLB team changing its name from Indians to Guardians. The International Network of Street Papers (INSP) has partnered with Nia Tero, a nonprofit which works with Indigenous communities to promote their work and culture, as well as social art and design lab, Amplifier, to make available posters profiling a group of female Indigenous leaders from communities across the world to coincide with International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples on August 9. StreetWise uses this opportunity to raise consciousness of global Indigenous women and the role they play in promoting biodiversity to discuss two upcoming summits. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) World Conservation Congress in September in Marseille, France, is held every four years. The annual UN Framework on Climate Change Conference of Parties in Glasgow, Scotland will be in November.

Vendors Russ Adams, John Hagan and Donald Morris chat with Executive Assistant Patrick Edwards.
Donald: Hello, SportsWise fans! Here we are with some thoughts on the team formerly known as the Cleveland Indians—now, the Cleveland Guardians. Anyone have any thoughts? Russ, John, Patrick? Patrick: I do have a few thoughts, but I want to hear yours. I have a feeling you got some good stuff for us.
SPORTSWISE
Donald: I do. That Cleveland changed its name from a slur of sorts to something that sounds like a winning superhero is a step-up so far as racism and prejudice is concerned. I believe this name change will be great for what’s happening with our country. John: Well, it’s funny. I don’t feel the name was ever racist. Now, the logo I can see absolutely needing a change, but Indians is a real word. Patrick: Right, but it’s only perceived as positive more so in the area of “the people of India.” Mind you, the term “Indians” in reference to Native Americans came about because Christopher Columbus mistakenly believed he’d landed on the shores of South Asia. He thought he’d landed
in the Indies; thus, he figured he was in the presence of Indians. However, the problem becomes “How long do we hold on to this name that doesn’t represent the folks it was intended to represent?”
well. So, were all minorities tossed into the “Indian side” of things?
Russ: Look, personally, I don’t get why folks get so offended by team names...
Russ: Right. Although, to put “Native” at the beginning sort of takes away from their identity as well. Feels a bit like “You were the first here, but you’re no longer It.”
John: I’m with you for the most part. But, yeah, to know that about Columbus mistakenly believing he’d landed in the Indies is kinda an eyeopener. I didn’t know that’s where the word “Indians” came from. I mean, obviously, I knew that the word Indians came from India, but growing up with cowboys and Indians, the cowboys were "Americans." Patrick: I get that. The weird thing for me is that there weren’t just white cowboys; shoot, there were Black and Latino and other ones as
Donald: I don’t know. We may all be family, but we do have an identity.
John: I get that a little bit… but I don’t completely agree with it. I mean, everyone has something in front of “American,” right? Why not Native Americans? Donald: Well, “Native” doesn’t quite work for me. African American, Australian American, Latino American, all of them tell of a place they are from because they’re no longer there. Patrick: And getting back to
the now-Cleveland Guardians news, I’m good with it. New name, new logo and, perhaps, a new beginning in regard to race relations—especially perceptions. And, wait, before we wrap, the new name is inspired by the “Guardians of Traffic” statues on Cleveland’s Lorain-Carnegie Bridge. Interesting… Donald: As long as this change is combined with better behavior within the organization and anywhere else that needs changing, then I can dig it. Russ: I feel the same way. Sometimes, change takes time and, often, it doesn’t happen in the way we want. But, then, we can’t rewind and do it again. John: We can only move forward and be better. Any comments or suggestions?

THRIVING PEOPLES, THRIVING PLACES: Poster campaign highlights the contributions of Indigenous women to global biodiversity by Nia Tero / Amplifier / courtesy of INSP.ngo all artwork designed by Tracie Ching breakouts by Suzanne Hanney, from online sources
We are in a critical moment. In the midst of an ongoing global pandemic that is leaving no family untouched, compounded by increasingly extreme weather events linked to climate change, a unique global art project is shining a light on voices essential to the ecological solutions and collective healing we seek: Indigenous women. "Thriving Peoples, Thriving Places," the second collaboration between Indigenous-focused not-for-profit Nia Tero and design lab Amplifier, will launch on International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples Monday, August 9. The global exhibit includes six original portraits commissioned from Washington DC-based artist and illustrator Tracie Ching. The art will be available digitally as well as at public art events in cities such as Seattle (US), Washington DC (US), New York City (US), São Paulo (Brazil), and London (UK). The goal of the project is to at once celebrate Indigenous women as stewards of biodiversity across Earth and to prompt action amongst an engaged global audience.
COVERSTORY
The nine Indigenous women at the center of this project provide robust examples of real-life action to engage in to strive for the health and future of the planet. They are from communities spanning the globe, from the Philippines and New Zealand, to the Brazilian Amazon to Scandinavia, to the global north, embodying Indigenous experience and carrying generational knowledge and inherited responsibilities that come with that. These celebrated leaders include:

• Sônia Guajajara (Guajajara), an activist in Brazil and leader of Articulação dos Povos Indígenas do Brasil (Association of Indigenous Peoples of Brazil), which brings together 305 ethnicities around the agenda of Indigenous rights in the region. • Nara Baré (Baré), a Brazillian activist who was the first woman to assume the general coordination of the largest indigenous organization in the country, the Coalition of Indigenous Organizations of the Brazilian Amazon (COIAB). • Célia Xakriabá (Xakriabá), a Brazilian activist leading a new generation of female Indigenous leaders in the battle against the destruction

of Brazil’s forests both in the Amazon and the lesser known Cerrado, a savannah that covers a fifth of the country. • Vicky Tauli Corpuz (Kankanaey Igorot), an activist who not only helped organize the Igorot student movement in Manila in the 1970s and the Indigenous Peoples’ Movement in the Cordillera, but actively participated in the drafting, negotiations, and adoption of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.

IUCN WORLD CONGRESS • Pania Newton (Ngapuhi, Te Rarawa, Waikato, Ngati Mahuta), a lawyer and Māori land rights activist who organized the group Save Our Unique Landscape (SOUL) to protest the development of land at Ihumātao in south Auckland. • Marjorie Kunaq Tahbone (Inupiaq, Kiowa), an environmental activist whose artistic work focuses on revitalizing ancient skills such as hide tanning, making traditional regalia, and tool making.
The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) World Conservation Congress brings together the global nature conservation community every four years. This year, the IUCN and the French government have agreed to host the World Congress in Marseille from September 3 to 11; it had been postponed from June 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The IUCN is a global authority on measures needed to safeguard the world; the World Conservation Congress brings together several thousand leaders and decisionmakers from government, civil society, Indigenous peoples, business and academia, with the goal of conserving the environment.
• Gunn-Britt Retter (SaaOn July 23, for example, the IUCN mi), a professor, formerly part called for urgent action to address the of the Arctic Council Indigenous Peoples’ Secretariat, and current Head of Arctic and Environmental Unit for the Saami Council. • Deb Abrahamson (Spokane Tribe), an environmental activist and water protector who played a large part in the push to clean up the legacy of uranium mining on the Spokane Indian Reservation; Abrahamson died of cancer in January 2020; she attributed her illness to the very radioactive toxins from which she worked to save the world. • Twa-le Abrahamson-Swan (Spokane Tribe), an environmental activist and executive director, the River Warrior Society, a collective across the Coeur d’Alene, Colville, Kalispel, Nez Perce, and Spokane tribes; Abrahamson-Swan refocused the collective’s energies on providing pandemic and wildfire relief; daughter of Deb Abrahamson. This art initiative arrives in tandem with several critical global convenings, including: the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) in Marseille (see page 10), France in September 2021, and the United Nations Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26) (see page 12) in Glasgow, Scotland in November 2021 with an eye towards the additional critical climate and biodiversity conversations in 2022 and beyond. At these global events, many of which were postponed in 2020 due to the pandemic, policy evolves effecting government response to global issues and emergencies. The presence and participation of Indigenous women is vital. As acknowledged by the United Nations Department of Economic and Social

impact of climate change and poor water quality on Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, despite that government’s efforts. Bleaching incidents in 2016, 2017 and 2020, along with poor water, have affected two-thirds of the reef, and its ability to recover. “We call on all governments to accelerate action on climate change under the Paris Agreement so that unique ecosystems, such as the Great Barrier Reef, can continue to benefit biodiversity and local communities,” said Tim Badman, director of IUCN’s World Heritage Program. The World Heritage Committee has asked Australia to invite a mission by IUCN and UNESCO’s World Heritage Center to the Great Barrier Reef. The objective will be to ensure that Australia’s revised Reef 2050 Plan delivers on all threats to the Reef, including climate change and water quality.

CONFERENCE OF PARTIES (COP 26)
Each year, the United Nations Framework on Climate Change hosts a summit, the Conference of the Parties (COP). This year’s COP26 in Glasgow, Scotland could be the most significant since the Paris summit of 2015, “because it is a theatre of ambition where leaders can turn market and moral momentum into defensible near-term policy action,” said John Lang of the nonprofit Energy & Climate Intelligence Unit (ECIU). The ECIU supports informed debate on energy and climate issues in the United Kingdom. The Paris Agreement at COP21 was the first time every nation pledged to constrain their carbon dioxide emissions to reduce global warming. Since 2015, 197 nations have signed onto the agreement. The United States did so in 2016, withdrew in 2017 under President Trump, and rejoined on the first day of President Joe Biden’s administration. COP26 is important also because it will be the first summit since last year’s requirement that individual nations agree to more ambitious, Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) in order to reduce carbon emissions by 2030. Last year
was also the deadline for wealthier nations to contribute $100 billion annually to help developing nations reduce carbon emissions. Decarbonization involves reduced use of fossil fuels like coal, petroleum or gas in favor of wind power, solar power and biomass. Current NDCs have not met the Paris Agreement’s goal of keeping global warming under 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit), according to the ECIU. COP26 negotiations will show which nations are doing their part. The world needs to do even better. Emissions must be cut in half by 2030 to limit temperature increases to 1.5 degrees. Maintaining only a 1.5-degree increase will: • prevent the polar ice cap from melting • reduce pressures on food security • preserve small island nations from sea-level increases • reduce extinction rates • protect coral reefs, and more. The United States is part of an “Umbrella Group” of wealthier nations. Other participants include an Alliance of Small Island States, 39 nations endangered by sea level
Affairs. “Despite their enormous assets and contribution to society, Indigenous women still suffer from multiple discrimination, both as women and as Indigenous individuals. They are subjected to extreme poverty, trafficking, illiteracy, lack of access to ancestral lands, non-existent or poor health care and to violence in the private and the public sphere.” As such, Indigenous women’s understanding of intersecting issues - and the urgency and solutions needed to address them - makes their presence and leadership in global policy discussions essential. The activists, artists, and scholars at the heart of "Thriving Peoples, Thriving Places" exemplify the ideals of guardianship, kinship, reciprocity, and wisdom. Their voices, work, and leadership benefit not only their own peoples and communities, but all of us who share this planet, which is why now, more than ever, we must celebrate them, listen to them, and, most importantly, follow their lead.

increases; Least Developed Countries (LDCs) or 48 of the poorest nations that are already feeling climate change, but that have not caused it; 54 African nations; 22 Arab nations; 53 Rainforest nations in the Americas, Africa and Asia that must balance development with stewardship; the BASICs, or Brazil, South Africa, India and China; and 77 others. Some nations overlap various alliances. The Glasgow conference must keep its financial pledges to the developing world, says the ECIU, and it must push nations to make longterm strategies to reduce carbon emissions and attain the 1.5-degree goal. COP26 must also focus on priority areas such as nature, zero carbon transport (electric cars) and energy transition. A successful COP is one that kickstarts decarbonization on a scientific time scale in accord with the Paris Agreement, simultaneously delivering on promises made to the most vulnerable nations. “In Paris, COP21 was a success because the nations with most at stake said it was a success.”

Vendor a. Allen: Climate Change heroes The human, environmental, and economic cost of global warming is becoming increasingly clear, as is the need for action. From catastrophic flooding to hurricanes, droughts and fires, the impacts of climate change are no longer a concern of the future, but rather the present reality we must address today. As big, powerful nations run on coal, oil and gas, and send carbon into the atmosphere, smaller and less developed countries in southern Africa are seeing their temperatures rise at twice the global average – even though they had little to do with the cause! For example, the 2015-16 agricultural season was the driest in 35 years and an El Nino caused the deaths of 80,000 livestock, according to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization. In drought-prone sub-Saharan Africa, the number of undernourished people has risen 45 percent since 2012. Our posters of Indigenous women this week illustrate that just as women are the mothers of children, they are the caretakers of the Earth. Mother Nature is beginning to moan and cry for help. Our planet Earth is crying out to all the mothers who know what it’s like to give birth to a child, to discipline and train that child. We gave birth to the industry that created global warming. Now we mature and loving parents must exercise discipline and care to our beloved planet to ensure we can recover from this mismanagement of our environment.
