Shuumi Means Gift

August 27, 2025 by

The Shuumi Land Tax is a voluntary contribution that non-Indigenous people living in the territory of the Lisjan Nation can make to support Indigenous-led land work.

Shuumi supports Sogorea Té Land Trust’s work in land rematriation and reclaimation, cultural regeneration, and building thriving Indigenous futures. Indigenous people are still here and this is one small way to support our work.
