Restoring Balance for the Wellbeing of Humanity and the Environment

The Restoring Balance Collaborative (Collaborative) is dedicated to advancing Indigenous-led systems transformation to meaningfully address critical responses to climate challenges and their health impacts. Launched in 2023, the Collaborative is a global stewardship community that connects people and ideas. It expands and strengthens local, regional, and national networks by creating a global learning space to innovate and generate solutions in a collaborative environment. Over 40 Indigenous Nations, organizations, and communities across Turtle Island, Aotearoa (New Zealand), Australia, and the Pacific are represented in our practice community. The Collaborative is led by a team of Indigenous thought partners and practitioners who serve as the backbone of the organization. This coordinating body carries the work forward at the guidance of its international Advisory Council to provide a global learning space.

This Indigenous Peoples' Day we celebrate our communities. Our communities carry the weight of protecting our sacred, ancestral land and waters, and our gatherings in community are collective healing and restoration. When we come together, we remember we are not alone and we return to our work in our communities with our cups refilled. The wellbeing of our people and the wellbeing of our waters are interconnected, and we carry an important role in caring for both.

For four days, we listened, reconnected and opened our hearts and minds to the possibilities in the care for our lands and waters. Revisit the connections we made at A Meeting of Sacred Waters through this short video created in collaboration with No Reservations Productions.

Rivers do not know political borders. They do not distinguish themselves from their tributaries, streams, lakes or aquifers. Building global solidarity around healthy rivers and healthy waters requires a whole of river approach, recognizing them as living systems and understanding our inherent relationship and responsibilities for their care.

In October, we carry forward the conversations from A Meeting of Sacred Waters moving from Gathering to Action. Join us for an interactive session to share, reconnect, and take action together.

At this session, we will:
- Reflect on key takeaways with Sacred Waters presenter, Celeste Lucero (Pueblo of Isleta) on Indigenous Water Stewardship in New Mexico
- Discuss how to carry these conversations beyond Sacred Waters and identify actions we can take
- Premiere the Sacred Waters Summary Video and share highlights from the gathering
- Share what you’d like to see at a future Sacred Waters gathering

“Every time my foot hits the ground, it’s like touching with my spirit. My spirit lifts up every time I dance. I dance for the health of other people. I dance for me. I dance for the spirit all around me, I dance for the emotions that come with it.” - Jamilah Maldonado of the Northern Arapaho Tribe

This month we highlight an article that speaks to the strength of Indigenous youth connecting with ancestral lands and carrying forward the traditions of their ancestors.
