a reminder:

Indigenous people lived on this land for 15,000 to well over 20,000 years before Columbus arrived, with a population estimated at 60-112 million people. it is erroneous and harmful to consider a land “discovered” when sovereign Native nations with vibrant traditions, cultures, art, and spiritual practices filled with wisdom had been working in harmony with nature on this land long before Europeans arrived and colonized.the Earth calls for a return to harmony, a return to a recognition of interdependence and balance.may we listen to the wisdom of Indigenous voices, guardians of the Earth.
