What is Indigenous? with James Rosales (Part 1)

For over 10 years, James Rosales has cultivated a deep relationship with sacred land on the island of Bali. He and Zeff take a deep dive into:

How does one measure the distinction between indigenous ways of life and Western civilization?
Is being “indigenous” founded upon on race, ancestry, genetic or cultural heritage?
How does a person of Western upbringing connect to what is “indigenous”?
Can we live undifferentiated from, or merged with, Nature and the field of aliveness?
What do socio-cultural dynamics look like when considering indigenous living?
Does a return to indigenous ways of life require a surrender of the delusion of control?
What is it to be attuned to and sensitive to ecological feedback?
