I am a world citizen born in France that has the deep honor to learn, work and live among Indigenous Communities from South America, and mainly Brazilian Amazonia, for 8 years, starting in 2015.\n\n\nThrough my background in International Cooperation, it quickly appears both important and natural for me to **bring and translate Indigenous Representative into the global scene**, while I believe we have so much to **learn back, share and create with peoples that preserve not only more than 80% of our global biodiversity but also maintain alive a whole universe of knowledges and wisdoms based on other relationships to life in general** (and thus to nature, society, economy, community, culture). \n![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/tdsRsMoW3vlnW6lrM9OSjceoaCGRjwKYqMnWrNWA-0SaRFZvw8vnjrazI0Z6bzvjZ-rSLHDSnU2HzH6hZw2AmfgcE-4CROCIMULKsn298PZONUZB1KBnVhxRSsQ8DUqqVjxh-KFbYWrXd0mLuD6ZGis)\n\n\nAlong the different missions, debates, projects and events I have been involved with, one of the main topics that appeared on my path, thanks to [@Dagda](https://twitter.com/dagda_uni), is **the potential of Web3 in connection to Indigenous Cultures to create cross-cultural positive ecosystems for global changes.**\n\nFrom there, I got introduced to Gitcoin with [@Mycelia](https://twitter.com/mycelia_uni), and felt the calling to **bring the Indigenous Voices louder into the community.**\n\nSomething that has been recognised for the 1st [Gitcoin Citizens](https://explorer.gitcoin.co/#/round/10/0x984e29dcb4286c2d9cbaa2c238afdd8a191eefbc/0x984e29dcb4286c2d9cbaa2c238afdd8a191eefbc-54), and that I’am willing to keep doing for future Gitcoin Round, and future Gitcoin events. \n\n#### Retroactive Work 🔙\n\nSince I connected with the Gitcoin community, I have been working on how to bring more Indigenous Voices into it, starting on the **Gitcoin Radio** where I translated exchanges between Indigenous Leaders and the Gitcoin community during the 1st and 2nd edition of the Radio. \n\nTwo Gitcoin Rounds where I co-hosted and have mediated various spaces with Indigenous guests of 7 different ethnic groups and profiles _ from ‘cryptowarriors’ to Indigenous NFT artists, videomakers, digital influencers, decentralized organization founders and healers _ in order to **open the debates on current challenges through Indigenous perspectives within Web3**.\n\n\n![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/8XCthy2LbGmU6pdU7Ie3Hio2Bk_yUWuFZnKuSdpkwo9TvBCYG9V6oqIbIQgqyaxje1K2kLq1SG7t8WaDfRvUQmA3IwoymS3VNdO8fgFxAXVA9QgVcWZt6wuQlgyhtlVphjUArVzCqUWEFx6oJanOUOk)\n\n**Link**: [https://twitter.com/mycelia_uni/status/1699958688025387426?s=20](https://twitter.com/mycelia_uni/status/1699958688025387426?s=20)  \n\nAlso from 02 to 04.06.2023, we have been invited, with Indigenous guests of 5 ethnic groups of Brazil engaged in NFTs projects, to present Mycelia on the main stage of [NFT Brasil 2023](https://nftbrasil.live/).  A conference at which we presented briefly **Gitcoin and QF as aligned tools to empower Indigenous Communities in Web3**. \n\nSomething we want to do more of, both in the Digital and Physical, feeling the importance of **promoting indigenous participations in future events** as discussed during our participation in Funding the Commons Paris (July 2023) and other Web3 events along the recent Climate Week in NY (Sept 2023, and yes, I just missed the GreenPill NY events!😅). \n\n![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/o-9cEcjXPlOyx5-UHWXmeoX8-BczTVVds8CJ9fF3YT1n6lZonLQg7-6yEh5WQya_W_8Uf4oOux0Vmx2JGLGam2lkvtpUmgZesvxeXuVsIeTiIyEBfN3kL5oK47tsXH6meVxcGYuPq4e6zt9hLA1m8L8)\n\nI also helped for the **last GG18 to on-board three Indigenous projects by translating their proposal to English**, namely:\n\n [CIM : A Decentralized Indigenous Committee](https://builder.gitcoin.co/#/chains/10/registry/0x8e1bD5Da87C14dd8e08F7ecc2aBf9D1d558ea174/projects/787), \n[Living Libraries -
