Indigenous Solidarity Trip | September 1-5, 2023

Greetings! Beautiful Beings, Bienvenido!

We had a wonderful trip to Big Mountain to aide in and tour 3 family dryland plots! Two more families signed up for support in September! Some families dropped out for lack of capacity to garden this season. Showing us how valuable our sustainability work is.

Our Big Mountain Garden Network is a social group where People Of Culture support Indigenous Hopi and Dineh families sustaining generational food security. Using cultural wisdom and dry land farming techniques to steward the land. A space where we share in plant care and farm maintenance. An encouraging and uplifting part of the Indigenous Solidarity Network. 

The Dineh have a legacy of frontline resistance against Peabody Coal and other extractive industries. Diné: Our Survival Is Bound To Theirs is a collection of articles and other resources combined to tell the story of the Diné/Dineh (Navajo) people and their 60+ years of resistance to preserve their culture and way of life. Moving and raw, this is a reminder of how our survival is intertwined.
