This chapter discusses meaningful stakeholder engagement (MSE) from the framework of epistemic injustice theory. It focuses on the scenarios in which Indigenous peoples are the voice of nature in a predominantly non-Indigenous society. These Indigenous voices for nature are usually dismissed by the mainstream discourse in the given society due to epistemic injustice. Based on the taxonomies in the work of Miranda Fricker and Kristie Dotson, i.e., testimonial injustice, hermeneutical injustice and third-order injustice, this chapter places three types of epistemic injustice in the context of engaging Indigenous peoples and nature as a dual-stakeholder, exemplified by three cases: the Mbyá-Guarani tribe’s participation in the public meeting regarding their relocation; Djab Wurrung’s protection of their sacred Birthing trees; and Sarayaku v Ecuador. Finally, this chapter argues how to use a virtuous approach to address testimonial, hermeneutical and the third-order epistemic injustice encountered by Indigenous peoples when representing nature.</p
