13 year old Autumn Peltier's 2018 speech to the UN shares indigenous wisdom that water is alive. She calls us to "Warrior up...". She knows that "One day I will be an ancestor, and I want my great-grand-children to know I tried hard to fight so they can have clean drinking water". The global climate strikes inspired by 16 year old Greta Thunberg, reconnect to the wisdom of indigenous people who cared for the earth before being decimated by colonial genocides. Visiting Standing Rock, Greta recognised that "Indigenous peoples are often the ones who are affected the most by the climate and ecological crisis, yet they are not the ones responsible for it. They are also the ones who are leading the fight against it. We are now so desperate for their voices and knowledge how to live in balance with nature" 

 

Love and Courage, A Story of Insubordination honours many of humanity's ancestors who  worked with the power of love, courage and insubordination against unjust economic, political, military and social systems and the hate, greed and fear that can permeate our hearts. Honouring Ancestors connects the past, present and future through lectures Pregs has delivered including on Wangari Maathai, Ruth First, Victoria Mxenge and Julius Nyerere. If the world heeds the wisdom of Wangari Maathai, children whose wealth was stolen from them, could play happily - their present and future secure.
