S3E7: Communal Wisdom: Indigenous Women of India

An ancient Tamil proverb from the 1st Century shares a bit of indigenousness from south India; "Without love in the heart, life is like a sapless tree in a barren desert." It is our privilege to cross half of the northern hemisphere to reach New Delhi where we find Seema Shalini Lugun (Adivasi - Munda) from Orisa, India. Seema Shalini shares her world view that has grown from rural tribal girl to urban adivasi woman. She reveals her ancestry and warrior spirit to keep up the good fight for her peoples survival. Shalini demonstrates how certain groups are now attempting to extract the last remaining piece of indigenous wealth, community wisdom.

Seema has an MBA and  currently is employed as a corporate HR professional.  She studies human potential and the cultures they weave working to dive deep and strengthen communal intelligence,wellness, and identity of indigenous communities.
