In the early days of Spring, the Indigenous New Year, I met with a group of Native leaders from all over Turtle Island (North America), each of us from a different Tribal nation from Iñupiaq to Seminole. Our nations differed, but our minds were in the same place.
Gatherings like this have been happening with increasing frequency during this time of racial and political unease; whether virtual or in person, we are working on telling our own stories, in our own words. Our hearts lifted as we talked about the important creation stories that have been gifts in our lives. Not colonization stories. None of us had a story of how we hoarded wealth or stole land, claimed resources, or had a divine right to accumulation.
