The Gomaluku Podcast

What's good podcast listeners, today's episode is a deep look into the mind, world and dark moments of my dear friend Jocelyn Ting-Hui Hung Chien. I always laugh and have a lot of fun catching up with Jocelyn, s he has been going to the UN for over a decade now, you'd think she has hours of speeches recorded by now. She hasn't....at least not as a representative of the Indigenous Peoples of Taiwan...

Today's episode is #1 of the special series "How To: Indigenous Governance and Diplomacy for the NOW". This series is all about bringing perspectives and practical ideas for Indigenous Peoples representatives. Co-organized by Tuomas Aslak Juuso, Drumbeat Media, DOCIP and TV Indigena we're bringing in a wide variety of the world's leading Indigenous Peoples representatives and allies. Please enjoy,...

I sat down with my bro Atama, he's a Dayak raptivist from Malaysia giving a voice to the struggles of his community and Indigenous Peoples worldwide through his advocacy and music.

Tea time episode #2 was with Kenneth Deer (Mohawk), Charm Skinner (Maori), Jocabed Solano (Kuna Yala), we talked about COVID-19 impacts on human rights and rule of law, the governments responses to the virus that have a negative impact on our security and human and indigenous rights, and about traditional knowledge.

Tuomas Aslak Juuso is a very good friend of mine, a guy with political aspirations for his indigenous Sámi people, h e's a reindeer herder that joined the international Indigenous Peoples movement through the indigenous youth caucus and accumulated experience both domestically and abroad that led to his election as President of the Sámi Parliament in Finland a couple of months ago. Here's an insig...

If you're an emerging or learning indigenous leader this one is for you. I got you on the first thing to do in a leadership position, on staying in line with what Indigenous Peoples globally think about a certain topic, and more. I'm starting with a curve ball though, my favorite pastrami places in NYC. If you have any additional thought or think I should try out your favorite pastrami place in NY...

April 21st the Global Indigenous Youth Caucus celebrated its 14th anniversary, I was invited to their preparatory meeting for the 2019 Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues to talk a bit about the origin story of the indigenous youth movement that started at the Working Group on Indigenous Populations in the early 2000s. Thanks a heaps to Sachem Hawk Storm for recording the introductions and my wor...

Here's one value packed episode for you to listen to: CCCCC's Carlos Fuller from Belize, UNESCO's Nigel Crawhall and myself were on a panel at COP25 to talk about “Incorporating Traditional and Local Knowledge and Technologies into Climate Change Adaptation policies and practices in African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) regions”. We talked about the importance of the knowledge of Indigenous Peoples...

Another episode of the Q&A, in this one I talk about: - What we could have done differently after the World Conference on Indigenous Peoples - Whether I'm indigenous to Holland or not - Being the guy the guy counts on in stead of being the guy - What I do that others can do too that requires ZERO talent I appreciate the questions, it would mean the world to me if you subscribed, and shared the pod...

Episode 4 coming at you, live in quarantine brings enough time to reflect and reminisce. In this episode I try to explain about what my superpowers are, what books I would recommend people to read, and other stuff. Keep sending your questions to @gomaluku I'm having a blast answering them and hope that it guides you a bit in your advocacy work for the rights of Indigenous Peoples.

What's up fam. I started a week long series on Facebook and Youtube Live to talk about the impacts of COVID-19 with Indigenous Peoples, now there are many conversations ongoing already but haven't come across a real global conversation yet. So, in the first episode I sat down with Johnson Cerda (Kichwa), Rochelle Diver (Ojibwe), Rebecka Forsgren (Saami), Victor Carmen Lopez (Yaqui), Sachem Hawk St...

Here's episode #3 of the Q&A as I'm mixing up questions that I asked to my network over the past years as well as questions that you asked me recently. Continue sending me your questions I love answering them, I'm on Instagram, Twitter and TikTok as @gomaluku or just post something on my Facebook page. Hope you enjoy this new episode!

Estebancio is a good friend - I visited his community in 2010 - is one of the experts from Latin-America when it comes to the rights of Indigenous Peoples in biodiversity and climate change, he's been around for years and is currently a representative for his region for the Local Communties and Indigenous Peoples Platform on traditional knowledge under the UNFCCC. He loves sports too, when we both...

Bringing to you episode 2 of the Q&A as I'm mixing up questions that I asked to my network over the past years as well as questions that people ask me. I did my best to be clear whilst answering the questions, so I hope you find value in it.

What's good podcast listeners, after I came back from Monaco I went straight into quarantine for 2 weeks and have been inside most of the time. I thought it would be good to make use of the time I have now - all UN meetings have been postponed until further notice - and answer some questions. Some I asked myself to others through my Facebook account, others were directed at me through social media...

This episode is from last September in Costa Rica. I was invited to a workshop on human rights and climate change that was organized and held in the weekend prior to the PreCOP. This episode contains a golden lessons I've learned in the past, which is to always check how you can be of value for the audience and adapt your presentation accordingly. Even if it means that you have to abandon your pre...

Before I begin. The next 2 weeks I could sure use your help in raising awareness on indigenous rights in climate action. If you have any ideas or questions please drop me a line @gomaluku on Twitter, Tiktok, Instagram and Medium, or FB.com/gohorella. Back to the episode. This and the next set of episodes will probably be focused on Human Rights and Indigenous Peoples rights in climate action as th...

In this episode of the podcast we’re getting tactical on issues that are critical for the upcoming COP25. In a conversation with Michael Charles during the late hours of SB50, we dive into what successful negotiators should share for free, why relationships are critical and how the indigenous caucus can improve. Michael is Diné /Navajo, young and on the fast track on becoming a serious asset for I...

I think this will be one of the final podcasts regarding the process leading up to the Local Communities and Indigenous Peoples Platform under the UNFCCC. That Saturday in December 3 years of hard work finally came to an end. Well, phase 1 came to an end. I thought back to that day over a 100 times, every time I think back I end up saying "I love this work so much". Katowice was a disappointment f...

This is a conversation with Johnson Cerda. I met Johnson in 2015 at COP21 in Paris became good friends and worked with him on climate issues ever since. He’s considered by many as the indigenous legal expert for Latin America when it comes to climate negotiations, he is very observant, critical and self aware. Johnson has many interesting hats on, one fo which i being the host of "Good Morning Joh...

What up podcast listeners, this is another one from the 42nd session of the United Nations Human Rights Council. Tuomas Aslak Juuso, Binota Moy Dhamai and I kicked off the Facebook Live Q&A with a debrief on the Human Rights and Indigenous Peoples resolution that was on the table last September, and throughout the session we answered questions that you sent in through FB.com/gohorella and @gomaluk...

I've heard Aka Niviâna speak during the three day Global Landscapes Forum last May in Bonn, only met her at the final day and took my shot at asking her for the podcast. I didn't want this episode to start with a "OK, please share your poems" but was more interested in her personal story and her process. It's an inspiring conversation with a young woman that has so many talents with an almost equa...

I’ve thought long and hard about whether or not to publish this. Everything that I’ve shared, and am about to share is part of my quest to document my personal process and the indigenous process - in the case of the next podcast the indigenous process under the UNFCCC. So I decided to share this particular podcast because its part of the process, and hit me emotionally. You’ve heard the previous p...

This presentation was recorded at the UNFCCC in Bonn at the first activity of the Local Communities and Indigenous Peoples Platform I was asked to explain at a dialogue how the "rights based approach" applies for Indigenous Peoples in the exchange of traditional knowledge and influencing climate action and policies. Its a clip from May 2018, but is very current as it contains provisions of interna...

On September 13th I had a great conversation with Binota Moy Dhamai and Tuomas Aslak Juuso on the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. 12 years ago that day the Declaration was adopted by the UN General Assembly, so we decided to pause or work in Geneva sit down and share some thoughts about the progress made at the international level. Hope you find value in this episode and let me...
