The English word 𝘸𝘰𝘰𝘥𝘤𝘩𝘶𝘤𝘬 comes from Cree 𝘰𝘤𝘦𝘬 / ᐅᒉᐠ meaning "fisher," a small mammal in the weasel family. Like groundhogs, fishers were extensively trapped, and fur traders erroneously reapplied the term 𝘰𝘤𝘦𝘬 to the groundhog.
No matter where you stand, you're on Aboriginal land
We're mourning the loss of forest defender Manny “Tortuguita” Terán at the hands of Georgia police. They died fighting to protect the largest remaining urban woodlands in Atlanta. The beloved Weelaunee Forest is under threat from multiple developments, including the City of Atlanta's plans to create the largest police training facility in the US and Black Hall Studios’ plans to build the largest Hollywood soundstage in the country.
Capitalist housing policy is built on a contradiction: A home’s value is directly tied to the scarcity of housing for other people.
Whether or not you count the same days, observe the same holidays, or recognize the same cycles of time as your ancestors – the systems they developed, and even our current systems, will outlast the cultural memory.

The Climate Impact of Your Neighborhood, Mapped:
In 1974, a sovereign Kanien’kehà:ka (Mohawk) community was declared at an abandoned girl scout camp in the Adirondacks. After a tense 3-year stand off, New York State agreed to an unprecedented 600-acre land swap. To this day, Ganienkeh maintains its sovereignty. It isn't a reservation doesn't seek US recognition. It's one of the greatest #LandBack successes in recent history, and yet is also largely forgotten by settlers even locally.
