The sanctity of life is an essential aspect for its protection. \n\n- **The concept of \"body-territory\" is central to understanding the holistic and decolonial approach of Indigenous Women**. It expresses an inseparable link between the bodies of Indigenous Women and the land in which they exist, their traditional territories. Protecting natural habitats means protecting their way of life, their culture, their very identity. \n\n- **Indigenous cosmovision sees nature not as a resource to be exploited, but as a living entity to be respected**. They are on the front line in defending their territories against deforestation, extractivism and destructive large-scale projects. \n\n- **As pillars of their communities, Indigenous Women are transmitting core values and ecological awareness to the new generations**. Education being a key component to address the climate crisis. \n\n- **The culture is a rampart against assimilation and a tool for emancipation**. Faced with attempts at forced assimilation, keeping alive their languages, ceremonies, arts and modes of social organization is an act of resistance for indigenous women. Valuing and transmitting this distinct cultural identity strengthens their power to act and their self-determination.\n\n- **Revaluing and listening to the voices of Indigenous Women means reconnecting with an ancestral wisdom** that is essential to our relationship with nature and building a viable future for humankind. Their resistance is one of the last bastions against the destruction of life on Earth. \n\n**The conclusion of this study is that the climate crisis cannot be overcome without decolonizing our solutions and recognizing the central role of Indigenous Women in preserving life on Earth.** \n\n### **Also, since GG19, Mycelia :** \n\n- Increased self-determination for Avelin by eliminating her need for a translator. She is now able to express in English.\n\n- Support for Indigenous Women in emergency situations. Creating also more trust for Indigenous Peoples with QF as a viable source of funding.
