Solutions: Lyla June helps us understand 3000 year old solutions to modern problems

Lyla June (pictured) uses both song and word via TEDx to help us both see and understand that the solutions of her people can still be applied to modern day problems.

Her TEDx presentation is entitled: "3000-year-old solutions to modern problems".

In this profoundly hopeful talk, Diné musician, scholar, and cultural historian Lyla June outlines a series of timeless human success stories focusing on Native American food and land management techniques and strategies. Lyla June is an Indigenous musician, scholar and community organizer of Diné (Navajo), Tsétsêhéstâhese (Cheyenne) and European lineages. Her dynamic, multi-genre presentation style has engaged audiences across the globe towards personal, collective and ecological healing. She blends studies in Human Ecology at Stanford, graduate work in Indigenous Pedagogy, and the traditional worldview she grew up with to inform her music, perspectives and solutions. Her current doctoral research focuses on Indigenous food systems revitalization.
