The land we are and have always been // tsih.sa:né:yohs (when you are healing)
The land and water give and sustain all life on Earth; collectively embodying knowledge intrinsically linked to our health and wellbeing. Colonization disrupted Indigenous connectivity to land and water and by (re)building our relationships we can ensure a sustainable future for the generations to come. Offering gratitude and centering love ground us within their powers in coming home to ourselves.
