One Woman Action for 350 Colorado – October 21, 2021
Dr. Maria Michael worked as a climate activist with 350 Colorado starting in the summer of 2019. She began as one of the Indigenous Spiritual Elders supporting Indigenous Youth who were key in organizing climate strikes in Denver. Dr. Michael also worked with 350 Colorado to plant permaculture fields near oil drilling sites in protest of oil and gas drilling in Colorado. Shortly thereafter, she joined their board. Despite Dr. Michael efforts, as a BIPOC person, to change the culture of the organization of 350 Colorado to be more inclusive, it became increasingly difficult. As a result, four BIPOC board members resigned in protest (three Indigenous people and one African-American person) and another member of the organization, who was white, also resigned. One BIPOC member remained.
The above video of a One Woman Action was filmed before 350 Colorado’s annual retreat to call attention to the failure of the organization to collaborate well with BIPOC people. BIPOC communities are the most adversely affected by pollution from oil/gas and fracking factories as these are often placed in communities of color.
Dr. Maria Michael on The Lakota Teachings of the Medicine Wheel
This was a talk for classes in being run by this psychologist on the Incan Medicine wheel. She asked us to be a guest speaker. We brought a different Indigenous perspective about the journey of the Medicine Wheel. We talked about the the Lakota teachings of the Medicine wheel and its representations. As in most Indigenous cultures, it always about the about the Spiritual journey of self- discovery, introspection, our spiritual growth, and how we relate to Grandmother Earth, and all the Living Beings who also inhabit her. It is all about how we are all related to each other on the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual realms. Our every thought, feeling and action in connected to all other Living Beings and we must walk this lifetime in reverence to our ancestor and to each there in the present, so that the next 49 generations can be lifted up.
