Mother Earth is calling on us to act—the collective wisdom of thousands of years of Indigenous knowledge can guide us.  Indigenuity, or Indigenous ingenuity, stems from an ancient idea and practice that Native peoples have engaged in for millennia. It was born of a careful mindfulness and attentiveness to our planet and all of its creatures, and a recognition that human experience is intertwined with all that surrounds us. As a society, we rarely pay attention to our land, air, and water, exacting a high price for all life on this planet. On Indigenuity is a call for us to learn a key lesson: it's time to apply ancient Indigenous wisdom to solve modern problems.  The author, leading Indigenous thinker Daniel Wildcat, discusses some of the most important Native knowledge that is the foundation of science, the environment, biology, and our culture, arguing that restoration through the practice of Indigenuity is essential if we are to make progress toward saving our home.   By surrounding ourselves with human creations, Wildcat contends that we have created an "insulated ignorance" for ourselves, and what we need to solve the problems of the twenty-first century is a different perspective. Drawing upon history, personal experiences, and extensive research, Wildcat invites readers on a profound journey of discovery, bridging the gap between how we've already tried to help our planet and the traditional Indigenous knowledge that could be the key to making a real difference.
