Indigenous Solidarity Statement
 
Together, we have a shared responsibility to protect Mother Earth - we are all apart of the Land and the Land is apart of us.

Indigenous Nations protect the majority of biodiversity, worldwide. Communities with ancestral relationships to their lands, winds, and waters around the globe, show us important ways of living together and with the land.

goodworm is located in Aspen Parkland and so-called Edmonton, whose traditional names include:  
Amiskwaciy Waskahikan (Cree)
Omukoyis (Blackfoot)
Titunga (Stoney Nakoda)
Nasagachoo (Tsuut’ina)
Sawyah-thay-koi (Dene)

Let's demonstrate solidarity with Indigenous peoples throughout the world by supporting the varied ways they assert their cultural and political autonomy. In doing so, we must name colonialism, capitalism, and state power as forces that obstruct our aims for justice. 

Land Back

Here are some Indigenous Nations to support, financially or otherwise:

Wet'suwet'en + Gitxsan Land Defenders

Beaver Lake Cree Nation


Please reflect on what plants (native vs invasive) you tend to and what purpose a colonial, turf-grass lawn serves in this time of climate crisis.


In solidarity, let's grow!
