The Story is in Our Bones does not leave the reader exasperated and helpless—it is an empowering call for action."" —Nnimmo Bassey , author, To Cook a Continent: Destructive Extraction and the Climate Crisis in Africa, Right Livelihood Award winner ""As a young Indigenous woman, it is important to me that we consider all the complex intersections of colonialism, racism, patriarchy, capitalism, and ecocide while building a better world. This incredibly important and timely book includes the memory and knowledge of how we can live in balance with nature, which still lives on in Indigenous communities and is crucial to solving the multiple crises we are facing!"" —Helena Gualinga (Kichwa from Sarayaku), Indigenous youth climate leader, Ecuadorian Amazon ""The Story is in Our Bones is a remarkable achievement, a rich read, and one surely not to miss.The book resonates from mind to belly to bones."" —Nina Simons, co-founder, chief relationship officer, Bioneers ""A majestic journey of sense making. The resounding message throughout this book is to act with urgency and purpose in these times of interlocking crises."" —Sandrine Dixson-Declève, co-president, The Club of Rome, co-author, Earth for All ""This is a very valuable book. It delves deep into what we can and must learn from both Indigenous worldviews and the natural world that has helped inform them, and it does so without sentimentality or rancor; in so doing, it opens a number of paths for everyone trying to think more wisely about how we can inhabit a planet in fundamental crisis. It would best be read not as an intellectual exercise but as a guidebook to real change."" —Bill McKibben, author, The End of Nature, founder, Third Act" Author InformationOsprey Orielle Lake is the founder and executive director of the Women's Earth and Climate Action Network (WECAN), where she works internationally with grassroots, BIPOC and Indigenous leaders, policymakers, and diverse coalitions to build climate justice, resilient communities, and a just transition to a decentralized, democratized clean-energy future.
