Dr. Byron Maclean is a father, traditional medical doctor, activist, teacher, and student committed to indigenous Nations and advancing medical, climate, economic, and social justice. He works to bridge the gap between ancient and modern civilizations, restoring the missing links in humanity’s timeline lost to colonial atrocities, while addressing the intergenerational impacts of capital-driven human and environmental rights violations that continue to affect our people and planet. At 21, Byron began his initiation at a sacred site in South Africa under the guidance of Yawa Bane from the Huni-Kuin Civilization and other traditional healers from First Nations of South Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Americas. He spent seven years studying indigenous medical technologies in isolation and building deep, lifelong relationships with indigenous communities globally. From this transformational study, Byron co-facilitated medical ceremonies, established the JHB City Growth, Health, and Development Initiative, launched a dispensary and consultation centre, and worked extensively with South Africa’s largest environmental NGO. Byron went on to collaborate with remarkable leaders, including the former general secretary of COSATU House, cabinet ministers from Mandela’s government, secretary-general of Greenpeace and Amnesty International, South Africa’s Public Protector, and other activists, Int NGOs, and political leaders. He was entrusted with overseeing the healing institute he initiated at and led sustainable community development programmes within the sacred valley, finding solutions with the communities most devastated by intergenerational, colonial genocides and environmental atrocities. For over a decade, Byron has been instrumental in developing multifunctional healing and education centers across South Africa, Europe, Canada, Brazil, and the UK. He also works to preserve epicenters within indigenous territories globally, integrating intergenerational wisdom, ethics and principles. Dr. Byron Maclean is director of SunMoonSeed Alliance, SunMoonSeed Foundation, and Kushma Art Advisory. These intergenerational solutions-driven organizations are in partnership with a global network of indigenous alliances and activists, bridging ancient and modern civilizations, addressing the colonial and capital-driven human and environmental rights violations and helping to develop ethical, positive change for our people and planet. Byron guides the organizations with loving dedication to the teacher plants, the participants, and indigenous nations around the world.
