“The Earth is the mother of us all and if we neglect her we neglect ourselves. As she is not something separate from us but she's the essence of our being, and her rights should be recognized. ” — Sof’ Elle Beaivvi Mira, Community Member, Sápmi, Finland

My name is Sof´Elle Beaivvi Mira, and I come from Sápmi, and my people, Sámi, are Arctic Indigenous people, I'm currently here in Brazil and recording this video as a part of a bigger collaboration, that intends to highlight the rights of Mother Nature as my people say, "I en aliya nimpur kai etni" which means the Earth is the Mother of us all, and if we neglect her, we neglect ourselves, as she is not something separate from us, but she's the essence of our being and her rights should be recognized.
