The One Dish One Spoon Treaty of 1701 between the Anishinaabeg and the Haudenosaunee Nation:

"Canonized as an Indigenous Law, it is an agreement for sharing hunting territory among two or more nations:

Those ancestors recognized all people eat out of the single dish, that is, all hunting in the shared territory. One spoon signifies that all peoples sharing the territory are expected to limit the game they take and leave enough for others, and for the continued abundance and viability of the hunting grounds into the future."

I can only imagine what it would have been like to live in a society that valued the sharing and stewardship of resources rather than the gluttony of extreme extraction that we are in the middle of today.

It's time for another #WinonaLaDuke quote! Seriously, if you haven't read #ToBeAWaterProtector yet but you want to know more about #EcoJustice and the #WaterProtector movement, this is a GREAT book to start with.

"The psychosis of Indian hating is one born of the self-loathing of your role in destroying another person, theft and destruction of a people. That's what people have in the north [in the context of this chapter, she's specifically talking northern Michigan, but I feel this also applies to other places like my country of Canada]. They know that what has happened to Native people is wrong, but it's uncomfortable to deal with what justice looks like, or perhaps to come to terms that we all drink the same water, so the Crazy Indian hating behavior continues. That's the Deep North."

This quote gives me goosebumps.

"To me, it was in the camps at Standing Rock that we remembered what it feels like to be free. We remembered what it was like to create a village of thousands of people, a powerful Indigenous space that welcomed people of all different colors and nations. And we remembered what it feels like to create the infrastructure we need to care for ourselves entirely outside the colonized money economy - - to feed and clothe our people, to have stable housing and quality medical care for everyone, to have control of our children's upbringing, to practice our spirituality freely and share our stories unafraid."

"Two lessons I take from one of my great teachers, Wes Jackson of the Land Institute. As you contemplate your choices, mill about. That is to say, if you can live in your one acre, do so, mill about on that one acre, and do not move. Perhaps that lesson is to live simply and care for the place you know so that those who follow can live there too."

#FirekeepersDaughter by #AngelineBoulley was nothing like I expected! To be fair, I never bothered to read the blurb, but I'm also not sure that could ever have done this book justice. I was on the edge of my seat for quite a bit of it. Now I understand why everyone was talking about this one last year.
