Freedom to Be

Freedom to Be” is an event series that examines the right to freedom of religion of belief as it relates to Indigenous peoples and its greater impacts on our relationship with the Earth and our climate future. This series began with the 2022 publication of the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Religion or Belief’s report on the status of the right to freedom of religion or belief for Indigenous Peoples.
