This Open Dialogue Session explores the overlap between Indigenous & Bioregional resource flows, focusing in particular on how financial capital accompanies natural capital and biocultural resourcing across the continent of Turtle Island.
- Alexander Sterling, Founding CEO of Turtle Island Community Capital, will share how he’s filling a gap in financing Indigenous community entrepreneurship and project development east of the Mississippi, and how Indigenous community-building undergirds bioregional vitality.
- Cheryl Chen (CEO & Co-Founder) & Donna Morton (President & Co-Founder) of Salmon Returns, will share on their Headwaters Fund blended capital resourcing model and their Salmon Biocultural Credit, among other aspects of their innovative work in Salmon Nation in the Pacific Northwest of Turtle Island.
- Syd Harvey Griffith, Executive Director of Kinship Earth, will share on the flow funding model it helped innovate, and how she is applying the model in the bioregional movement, for example in Cascadia and the Northeast Woodlands.
The first half of the Session is devoted to speaker presentations, and the second half is dedicated to facilitated dialogue with all participants.
