***About the 2022 Indigenous Peoples Summit:

On August 9, 2022, Comunidad Maya Pixan Ixim co-hosted the 2022 Indigenous Peoples Summit, a multilateral, dynamic, interdisciplinary gathering of Indigenous and nonindigenous people from all walks of life to discuss Native Nation Sovereignty and Environmental Justice.

While many symposia, summits, conferences and gatherings take place on this day, few others draw from such a professionally, geographically, demographically diverse array of speakers, panelists, and guests.

We gathered in the land currently known as Nebraska to hear from thinkers in the areas of Tribal / Indigenous Leadership, agriculture, academia, medicine, philanthropy, government, and industry to imagine how Indigenous People can serve as partners and leaders in the coming years as we work as a global community to address environmental justice.
