Filmed and edited by the Indigenous Ogiek Participatory Video team, this short video follows Cosmas Murunga (Ogiek Community Elder) explain the traditional practice of the beekeeping.
From sustainably sourcing materials, the Ogiek exist and live in harmony with the land, building biodiversity alongside the ecosystems in which the local and global community rely on.
Supporting Indigenous land rights is crucial in the struggle for climate justice. Indigenous communities have lived in harmony as part of nature for millenia, and have resisted centuries of violent genocide attempts, abuse, and theft of land. These communities need to be heard, and learned from in order for us all to effectively mitigate the collapsing of our ecosystems and climates.
Equally as important is the need for peoples everywhere to build community amongst ourselves and commit in our struggle for land justice. Access to common Land is vital for our self sustainability and collective autonomy, as we adapt to the changing environments and ecosystems.
