Thelawofpeace.org has launched an online resource intended to provide a way to share the knowledge of changemakers directly from community to community, across nation-state borders. At the heart of this resource are
interviews with individuals - both Indigenous and non-Indigenous -
who speak about the non-violent actions they have taken to effect change
concerning an issue they care about. The other key resources in this
website are links to online articles and information that give context
and systemic background to the issues raised in the interviews. This is
equally important as the interviews themselves as it situates the issues raised in very personal interviews, to larger issues facing many people.
It is hoped that as this resource grows, it will allow people in communities in different geographic locations to access the voices of Indigenous community members who may have faced similar issues and offer their own strategies for effecting change. It is an effort to recognize the significant knowledge that exists respecting Indigenous issues, and to expand the capacity for direct community-to-community influence.
The interviews are not heavily edited, and each interviewee reviews and provides consent to thelawofpeace.org to post the interview on the website. We intend to eventually add audio and/or video to the resource.
