We sat down in 2024 with James Skeet, Executive Director of Covenant Pathways on his Spirit Farm in New Mexico. In the interview we delved into the concept of Indigenous Regenerative Intelligence from a Navajo - Dine perspective. Discover how ancient Native wisdom and biocosmology can reconnect us with the land, foster soil health, and promote a sustainable future.

James is passionate about reconnecting all peoples to the land through Indigenous Regenerative Intelligence that integrates the ancient Native wisdom of the bio-cosmology to create a haven where soil health, nutrient rich foods, human health, and free markets can prosper for another 10,000 years. James’ heritage has assisted in grounding him in the work he does as a full-blooded Navajo – also known as Diné – Native American from Vanderwagen, New Mexico. James’s Diné (Navajo) clan name means “Red Cheek, Born of Leaning Tower.” He is full of energy, life, and wisdom. James worked for NGOs fostering childhood development and then served as a financial watchdog for the tribal government. In all of his systematic work with programs and regulations, he began to seek ways to express his spiritual understanding that “all things are sacred.” Carry Kim, Co-Host of EcoJustice Radio.
