Our era of systemic collapse is also a time of possibility. How do we reclaim abundance when food, medicine, and belonging feel out of reach—though they are all around us?
Designed for those curious about regenerative finance and systemic transformation, this journey offers practical insights into how imagination, grief, and kinship can reshape the foundations of economy itself.

A Great ReMembering
Across watersheds and oceans Indigenous communities have protected the remnants of an economy that supports life. Indigenous Commons is a movement of Indigenous communities and organizations for a life-affirming economy.
A collective of Indigenous Guardians - rooted deeply in ancient bio-economies - are meeting with finance innovators and technologists to co-design a living financial system for all of us.
From Uganda’s Lake Victoria to Nigeria’s Niger Delta, from Ecuador’s Andes–Amazon corridor to Aotearoa’s Bay of Plenty, and across the Eastern Woodlands of Turtle Island, KinHubs are emerging as one GrandMothering Economy — where caring ancestral lifeways meet regenerative design, and value flows through creativity, nurturance, and protection.
Learn more about KinHubs: biocultural movements that restore the value-creating capacity of land, life and culture.
“Indigenous peoples make up just 6% of the world’s population, yet we tenure the lands where 80% of Earth’s remaining biodiversity thrives. Our lives are interwoven with the natural systems of the Earth — as all ancestors’ once were.”
A STREAM of Water to Life
Over the next three months, Indigenous Commons is raising $5 million to launch the GrandMothering Constellation for Planet Earth — a global network of Indigenous-led communities, called KinHubs, and the systems that connect and support them in restoring and protecting life and balance.
