The Womb at the Center of the Universe | Ilarion Merculieff

This Aleut traditional messenger invokes indigenous perspectives and ancestral wisdom to guide us through modern times. His elders say that the leadership of women is paramount to transform civilization to conserve Earth’s capacity to sustain life. This speech was given at the 2013 Bioneers National Conference.
