The report says the attack “was so systematic and coordinated that it transcended mere mob violence”

“We can disagree and still love each other unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist”

The Miccosukee fight to protect the Everglades in the face of climate change For centuries, the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida has called the Everglades home. But decades of engineering projects have devastated their ancestral lands and an ecosystem that’s sustained th...

"...a new report on the progress of Everglades work acknowledges a lack of meaningful and consistent engagement with the Miccosukee and Seminole tribes. It calls for applying Indigenous knowledge to restoration efforts and a steady partnership with tribes..."

True permaculture should start by acknowledging its debt to Indigenous and Black communities. It must center their voices, protect their land rights, and ensure they benefit from the use of their knowledge-not just through token mentions, but meaningful action.

What yt settlers labeled “wilderness” was never wild. It was well-maintained. But their hubris, greed, and belief in their supremacy made them ignore Indigenous knowledge.

This is one of the many ways yt supremacy continues to hurt people and the planet. 5/5
