No meeting over Thanksgiving

This is a weekend for giving thanks. A weekend to be with our human and more-than-human relatives.

We’ll be planting the Little Forests on the homelands of the Anishinaabe, Haudenosaunee, and the Huron-Wendat. This Thanksgiving, as we prepare to plant the Little Forests, I am thinking about how much, as a settler, I have to learn about living on this land with gratitude, respect, and reciprocity.
