Guardians of Life: Indigenous Practices for a Thriving Earth @ 3PM

Stories and photography by Kiliii Yüyan

Join award-winning photographer, filmmaker, and National Geographic Explorer Kiliii Yüyan for a transformative journey to meet people living “in relationship” with their ancestral homelands. Indigenous men and women, youth and elders, hunters and farmers, spiritual leaders and craftsmen will reveal their ways of knowing and working with the land. These concepts and skills, taught for generations, are based on a foundational veneration for life—which is at the heart of caring for a living planet. With stories spanning the globe from the Arctic to Australia, Yüyan will remind us that when we protect the more-than-human world, we are also protecting ourselves.

This talk is the final event in Central Oregon LandWatch’s 2025 Livable Future Forum.
