✨Rematriated ✨
These Abalone shells were returned by a student group who had collected them at a community garden over many years. When they started learning more about the Indigenous people whose land they are on and the history of the territory they decided to return more than 30 shells to @villages_of_lisjan through Sogorea Te’.
Abalone used to exist in abundance and were integral to many different Indigenous Lifeways. Now they are nearly gone. Returns like these bring them back into relation with their relatives and lift our spirits. ❤️
To rematriate any stolen, plundered, or otherwise misappropriated cultural items, artifacts, inheritances, trustfunds, houses, or land hit us up.

❤️ Rematriate the Land ❤️
In honor of all of our mamas, in appreciation of matriarchs everywhere, and with wild hope for an Indigenous women led future returning us all to greater balance on this earth, we are delighted to reveal our gorgeous new Rematriate the Land art by the one and only Jackie Fawn.
For us Rematriation is about the return of Indigenous land and lifeways and mothers are essential to our work. We are founded by Indigenous moms. Indigenous moms are on the land and in the lead everyday. We knew we wanted to wanted to work with a Native mom for this collaboration and are so delighted with this beautiful offering. Thank you @jackiefawn and @fishbearstudios. And thank you to all our mamas, most especially Mother Earth. 🌎
Rematriate the Land! And do something nice for a mom this weekend!
(These posters will be popping up at upcoming Bay Area Indigenous events, watch our stories to snag one)

Rematriate Seeds.
“When I look at the seeds we’ve grown for three generations, I see seeds that come with stories and lineages resting in my hands. We take care of these seeds and plants, like grandparents, and in return these Rematriated seeds connect us together "
