Global Spirit

Earth Wisdom for a World in Crisis

Season 2 Episode 212 | 56m 25s

The dramatic increase in global warming and a thinning ozone layer made the United Nations realize that native peoples may possess some keys to the survival of our species. The Global Spirit crew attends the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues in New York City. The program documents the proceedings and interviews a range of renowned indigenous leaders and tribal representatives.
