Our Co-Director and Founder @ShaniMangola (on far right in photo) is finishing up exams in his first year of law school in Tanzania. Bahati njema (good luck)! 💫 It will be a historic moment when he becomes the first Hadzabe attorney in TZ #Indigenous #Hadza #lawschool #Tanzania

Thank you for such a strong response @DorsaAmir. The harm of talking about Indigenous peoples as “wild humans” is very real. Thank you for being a friend to Olanakwe Community Fund 💜
In a recent viral thread, diet coach Anthony Gustin tried to argue that the Hadza foragers of Tanzania — “wild humans” in their “natural habitat” — had much to teach us about health. In @NautilusMag, I break down exactly what he got wrong (a lot).

Indigenous hunter-gatherers cannot maintain land rights without education and the ability to fight for their rights in the spaces where decisions are being made. Supporting educational empowerment IS supporting hunter-gatherer land rights & sovereignty. #GivingTuesday #Hadza

This #GivingTuesday, consider donating to two excellent non-profits, both focused on providing aid & education to Indigenous communities: the @Olanakwe Community Fund, focused on the Hadzabe, and the @1PencilProject, working with the Tsimane and Kunene.

Just in time for the International Day of Indigenous Peoples, Hadzabe kids are back in school. Education is a right that many children around the world find hard to obtain. Support educational sovereignty #olanakwe #BacktoSchool2021 #Hadzabe #education #IndigenousPeoplesDay

Who ultimately should direct data decisions and benefit from open data? From an equity standpoint, I hope it’s the communities from whom that data is derived first. 3/3

Girls’ education around the world has been hit hard by lockdowns and school closures. We’re calling on #G7 leaders to support girls’ voices, leadership, safety, & education for a world that is greener, more inclusive and more prosperous ❤️ #BuildBackEqual
