“Indigenous knowledge has so much potential in mainstream culture. All people should know the concept of seven generations. It is an important contribution to the world.”
In this interview, Kelly McDonald shares how Indigenous knowledge and values have inspired her over the years. Kelly is inspired by the Indigenous concept of the Seven Generations--considering how our actions impact the next seven generations.
