Just Transitioning
for the 7th Generation
Mukwa's initiative, Just Transitioning for the 7th Generation Project, is dedicated to raising awareness among communities about the concept of Just Transition, particularly within the framework of a "Green Economy." This project emphasizes the frequently neglected adverse effects that such transitions can have on Indigenous Peoples, ensuring that their voices and experiences are integral to the conversation. By shedding light on these critical issues, the initiative seeks to foster a more inclusive dialogue that recognizes the unique challenges faced by Indigenous communities in the face of environmental and economic changes.
In addition to education, the project will delve into pertinent legislation that impacts both workers and tribal businesses, creating a platform for engagement and learning. This aspect of the initiative is crucial, as it empowers individuals and organizations to navigate the complexities of the legal landscape surrounding Just Transition. By providing resources and opportunities for collaboration, Mukwa aims to equip communities with the knowledge they need to advocate for their rights and interests in a rapidly evolving economic environment.
Furthermore, the project will explore innovative solutions such as worker cooperatives, the establishment of local trade routes, and the promotion of food sovereignty. It will also focus on the production and manufacturing of hemp bio-materials, which presents a sustainable alternative to traditional materials. By integrating these elements, Mukwa's project not only addresses immediate concerns but also lays the groundwork for a resilient and equitable future, where Indigenous Peoples can thrive alongside the broader community in a truly sustainable economy.
