Front and center is a government's responsibility to listen to its people. To exemplify this, Aouinat describes the U.S. government's response to issues, including pesticides and COVID-19. Also included is an example of Tuberculosis treatment from Peru. Aouinat closes by describing how Indigenous communities should be consulted for their knowledge on stewardship of the land.
