The interconnectedness of Indigenous Peoples is something to study with reverence. From their creation stories to the way we should love ourselves and Mother Earth, the Indigenous hold morals and values forgotten long ago partly due to consumerism and partisan politics.
I hope Rainn can find some time to fit in some Natives for an interview or two. From consciousness to medicine, Indigenous People have so much to offer, and they always offer it with love.
Today is Canada’s Thanksgiving Day, yet too many people are choosing between which necessity of life they can afford.
Meanwhile, the more that giant-grocer corporations make, all the more they irresistibly want to and likely will make next quarter. It’s never enough. No wonder food banks are strained. Unmet food needs are exacerbated by price inflation, while corporate profits and payouts to CEOs correspondingly inflate.
I would gladly give thanks — if everyone else on Earth had enough clean, safe drinking water, nutritional food and societal stability to maintain a normal, healthy life. But, for now ...
Thank you for sharing this. It has been discouraging to read that Columbus is our national hero. Perhaps he was brave and adventurous, but the white,European, male explorers of the time were not truly exploring to gather new knowledge. They were seeking wealth and fame and power. Sadly, the values of our nation haven’t changed much.
Thank you for this. I am encouraged, inspired, and challenged by your writing and by these women. With gratitude . . .

Just pass me the holiday turkey, peas
and the delicious stuffing flanked
by buttered potatoes with gravy
since I’ve said grace with plenty ease
for the good food received I’ve thanked
my Maker who’s found me worthy.
It seems that unlike the many of those
in the unlucky Third World nation
I’ve been found by God deserving
to not have to endure the awful woes
and the stomach wrenching starvation
suffered by them with no dinner serving.
Therefor hand over to me the corn
the cranberry sauce, fresh baked bread
since for my grub I’ve praised the Lord
yet I need not hear about those born
whose meal I’ve been granted instead
as they receive naught of the grand hoard.
