Centring the sacred connection between soil, seeds and Indigenous peoples, Dr Jessica Hutchings (Ngāi Tuhoe, Ngāi Tahu, Ngāti Huirapa, Gujarati) and Nadine Hura (Ngāti Hine, Ngāpuhi, Pākehā) peel back the layers of extractive colonial systems that commodify nature to advocate for environmental justice through the restoration of matriarchal knowledge systems. Drawing on Jessica's recent publication, Pātaka Kai: Growing kai Sovereignty (co-authored with Jo Smith) and Nadine's genre-blending essay collection Slowing the Sun, they will talk about the causes of both environmental and spiritual disconnection, and offer pathways that ignite responses vested in indigenous leadership.
