Soon after the dawn of civilization about 12,000 years ago, some humans began seeing themselves as separate from nature for this first time in our 200,000-year existence as a species. Land based relationships and knowledge systems were further destroyed by subsequent acts of empire, imperialism, and colonization. Today, we have no shortage of science, technology, or industry to achieve decarbonization of the planet; yet we are 12 years away from climate collapse according the United Nations. If we are serious about addressing this crisis, it is crucial now more than ever that we must fix its root cause—man imagined domination over nature—by learning from the remaining strongholds of indigenous science that still exist today.
The mission of decolonial feminist travel is to learn about and honor the culture and people who are indigenous to the place you are visiting. The vision of decolonial feminist travel is to help bring about a planet where all humans have returned to a familial connection with the natural world through the leadership of indigenous humans that never left that connection.
