By embracing diverse knowledge systems and centering Indigenous ways of knowing and being, the research calls for a fundamental shift in how policies, institutions and communities respond to the polycrisis of climate breakdown, cultural erasure, and social fragmentation. It proposes Living Trails, a pluriversal, place-based facilitation framework that Indigenizes policy-making by centering relationality and reciprocity. This transition design approach aims at weaving Indigenous and academic expertise with policy knowledge across local, regional, and planetary scales. Grounded in cosmopolitan localism, the work addresses the extraction of local knowledge out of geographical contexts and argues that regenerative futures need to be rooted in place, ritual, and culture. The paper advocates for global solidarity and shared learning through empowering bottom-up approaches in a world of many worlds.
