Gary Farmer, actor and musician, tells Bioneers, “American society has never been able to overcome the paternal view that leads the nation. I often wonder in my senior years what kind of world we could have lived in if the national builders of the American empire had accepted Indigenous people as equals.”

Farmer describes how the Haudenosaunee shared their foods and methodologies of the natural world to survive -- instead of manipulating the mineral resources for profit.

Today, Robert Free shares his photos from "Revolution from the Heart of Nature," Bioneers 2026. Robert was on the Trail of Broken Treaties, at the takeover of the BIA building in Washington, and at the Occupation of Wounded Knee. At the Occupation of Alcatraz, Robert's teepee was a monument to the struggle. Robert said, "In the early days the Sierra Club and environmental organizations didn't want input from Indigenous Peoples, in regards to national parks and monuments." Today, this is changing.

During Bioneers annual conference in Berkeley, Indigenous youths shared their struggles, from the Eastern Cherokee to the Klamath on the west coast, to Hawaii, as Native youths reclaim their waters and rivers, and rise to defend the natural world.

Apache Stronghold -- Confronting Evil with a Full Heart: Prayers at Oak Flat

By Apache Stronghold, Censored News, April 2, 2026

“Moving as one across the blooming mesa, reminded of our higher purpose - to wish harm on no one, for hard times will find them soon enough; to walk with dignity and courage, gratitude and love for the gift of creation; to confront evil with a full heart, sharp eyes and a quiet mind, to know there is a price to be paid for glimpsing the gates of heaven that are right here on earth. May the people stay blessed and protected. Protect Sacred Oak Flat.” -- Charlotte Levinson, 3/29/26 Charlotte Levinson
