What an honor to co-teach with Dan Wahpepah, Ojibwe Anishinaabe Kickapoo Sac & Fox Song Carrier and Permaculturist. Our students engaged with ecological design principles, while thinking critically about how the term “permaculture” is a colonizer-coined term representing knowledge from first nations peoples in relationship with their places.
The Spring 2021 Rising Earth Immersion cohort joined in and walked for miles through rural NC neighborhoods knocking on doors and spreading awareness about the Mountain Valley Pipeline Southgate Extension. We were participating in the 100-mile, Indigenous-led Water Walk, resisting the MVP Southgate’s threat to precious water bodies and sacred Indigenous sites across ancestral Saura, Tutelo, Monacan, Occaneechi and Saponi lands in Virginia and North Carolina.
