This Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we’re reflecting on the power of imagination, not only to envision the future but also to shape the work of building it.
N. Scott Momaday’s words remind us that imagination is fundamental to how we understand ourselves and our place in the world. The futures we imagine can serve as a starting point for the futures we work to create.
As social impact designers, we believe in the power of that process: imagining a more equitable, connected, and inclusive world, then using creativity and design to move that vision from possibility to reality. The work continually asks: What could the future look like, and what can we do today to build the best version of what we imagine?
Today, we honor Indigenous peoples, whose communities, cultures, knowledge, and visions for the future continue to shape the world around us.
“We are what we imagine. Our very existence consists in our imagination of ourselves. The greatest tragedy that can befall us is to go unimagined.” —N. Scott Momaday
