Shirley Krenak is an indigenous woman of Brazil. She belongs to the Krenak people, a native group of the state of Minas Gerais. She has been working on many areas related to the native culture since she was 13 years old. Alongside her brothers, she fights for land rights, ancestry rights and against the violence of the State in opposition to indigenous people. She holds a degree in social communication and currently she develops projects relating to the practice of healing through ancestry and how the native culture of the Krenak people can help change the devastation against mother-earth. In times of the Anthropocene, what she has been stating is that we are in need of a collective way of thinking, acting and listening (including humans and other-than-humans in it). This is part of the philosophy of the indigenous peoples of Brazil and she is putting that into practice in schools around the native land and in the national scenario with Articulation of the Indigenous People of Brazil (APIB) and the Shirley Krenak Institute.
