Dear WESPAC members,
WESPAC’s Friends of Turtle Island Committee is happy to announce the launch of Animal Footnotes—a new web blog about shifting away from a colonial mindset and experiencing what it means to live on Turtle Island together.
At its core, Animal Footnotes is about animals, but it’s also about Indigenous worldviews, the devastating impact of colonization, and what’s being done today. We’ll be posting short articles that chart a narrative that’s been omitted. Many of the stories point to the brilliance of the animals themselves (like beavers, buffaloes, turtles, and wolves) and we hope you enjoy them.
Here’s our first — a welcome message — that tells how we got here and what’s next.
A MORE CONNECTED WORLD
