I recently had the privilege of meeting a Sámi leader, and our conversation centered around the conservation of indigenous heritage, particularly that of the Sámi and Tamang peoples. It was fascinating to discover the parallels between our communities, despite the vast geographical distance. Both the Sámi and Tamang have deep spiritual connections to the land, a wealth of cultural traditions passed down through generations, and face similar challenges in preserving these in an increasingly modernized world. Our discussion emphasized the importance of maintaining our languages, rituals, and ancestral knowledge, not only as a way of honoring our heritage but also as a form of resilience against cultural erosion. As indigenous peoples, we share a collective responsibility to safeguard our traditions for future generations, ensuring they can thrive while staying rooted in their identity. This conversation reinforced the global nature of the indigenous struggle for recognition, respect, and conservation of cultural heritage. #HeritageConservation #PreserveCulture #IndigenousHeritage #CulturalPreservation #ProtectTraditions #SaveOurRoots #AncestralKnowledge #CulturalResilience #HonoringHeritage #SustainableHeritage

💫 Today, the Indigenous Peoples of Aotearoa/New Zealand celebrate #Matariki, the Māori New Year. The celebrations are centered around the concept of whakapapa, which refers to interconnectedness of all living things. 🇳🇿 Mataraki became an official public holiday in 2022, which reflects the growing recognition of Māori traditional knowledge and practices in #New Zealand, where #IndigenousPeoples represent 16.5% of the population. Yet, Māori rights to lands and self-determination are still not fully recognized under the Treaty of Waitangi which has limited legal status. 🌪️ Māori connections to their land (whenua) is also increasingly threatened by #climatechange. Natural disasters, like Cyclone Gabrielle in 2023, weaken the exercise of Indigenous Peoples´ continued occupation of their traditional lands. 🤝 Nonetheless, 2023 also saw an important achievement related to #Māori law and custom (tikanga) with the release of a study by the #NewZealand Law Commission working on a path forward for more respectful engagement between tikanga and state law. 👉 Read the full article in The Indigenous World 2024: https://bit.ly/4bSAMw3 #WeAreIndigenous #humanrights

Surge for Water’s partners in Indonesia, particularly within the communities of Sumba, have done such an extraordinary job of providing our team with a depth of understanding when it comes to cultural, tribal, and spiritual traditions. It’s so important for our team to understand these aspects of the region and its people because they play a big part in how we work with and within these communities. One of the key ways we do this is through an "Ina Ama"—a deeply respected, inherited position within the local community. The Ina Ama is a clan leader, a mediator, and a guide all in one, trained in ancestral knowledge and tasked with overseeing important cultural and ceremonial protocols. Before we begin any work, Pak Agus (our Ina Ama) ensures that we follow the right processes and honor the specific customs and histories of each community. His role is critical in preventing misunderstandings and ensuring harmony, especially in regions where past conflicts still impact relationships today. By having Pak Agus on our team, we’re regularly reminded that the work we do is as much about how we do things as it is what we’re able to accomplish. We always want to ensure our approach is in line with the way each community operates before we even arrive. The cultural depth we navigate is as crucial as the safe water we work to provide. Below is one such moment. Here, I'm seen respecting one of the traditional protocols at the handover ceremony of a completed project.
