"We've lived through 3 ice ages - here's what we learned" - how Indigenous wisdom can help us all
Indigenous peoples have lived on their lands for countless generations.
But who are they, and what lessons might they have for the rest of us?
We speak to two Indigenous leaders from opposite sides of the world: Deen Sanders of the Worimi Nation from Aboriginal Australia, and Fawn Sharp from the Quinault Indian Nation in Washington State, USA.
