This repository will be used to catalog, journal, document and preserve my journey as I weave threads to restore matrilineal governance in the PNW
User Story:
As an indigenous person I should be in right relationship with the land, waters, plants animals, seasons and my fellow humxns. As a resident of the Pacific Northwest I want to cultivate a culture of land stewardship as I see it lacking attention and intention accross my communities. I intend to listen, lead and be led, inspire, tend and model behavior. I require critique in my efforts from indigenous elders.
What am I currently up to?
