Interviews and content on Indigenous perspectives, cultures and knowledge.
The Forest Thinking Project was born from a desire to share knowledge and perspectives that few people have access to. We speak with specialists about their journeys and what they have learned from Indigenous peoples, exploring both unexpected insights and points of connection in their encounters with Indigenous communities. We also speak directly with Indigenous thinkers to hear their reflections on the world.
Presented in an accessible and engaging way, you will find interviews covering topics from anthropology, ecology and archaeology, to many others.
“Laughter is present in every aspect of Krahô life. It has the power to create openness, foster encounters and connections, and enable a sharing of bodies.”
“Today, there are no uncontacted peoples who remain isolated because they are unaware of the outside world. Isolated peoples avoid contact because they choose to. It is a deliberate rejection of engagement with wider society. These groups are often fragments of once larger people, survivors who have endured experiences of violence, displacement, and massacre.”
“I think that the archaeology of the Amazon is so different because human action here creates a kind of confusion between knowledge and nature. We struggle to separate what is natural from what is cultural.”
“For the Krahô, the pur pej, a field that is both beautiful and good, is, above all, a diverse one. And that diversity depends on these exchanges, on seeds circulating among different families."
“Indigenous peoples are collectors of difference, while we have become a machine for generating uniformity at every level of society.”
