The Land You Are On

December 19, 2020 by

We are all on Indigenous land.

Whose ancestral land is this?

How did we get here?

What is the story of the place we are?

How can we recognize responsibility in the lineage of displacement, colonization and genocide that our country is founded on?

This short multi-media piece examines history, place, responsibility, and rematriation through voices from Sogorea Te’ Land Trust.

By Inés Ixierda. Featured on Grand Re/Union Magazine count a project of Counterpulse.
