A conversation series exploring historical injustices in land, community practices around the world in stewarding land and housing, and envisioning futures of radical belonging and inclusion.
Many of us were taught to see land as something to own, use, or extract from—not something to be in right relationship with.
But long before colonization mapped boundaries, paved roads, and commodified the earth, there were older ways—uncolonized ways—of knowing, living, and relating. Ways that honored land as kin, as teacher, as memory-holder.
This session is a journey toward those ways. Together, we will explore how traditional Western land “use” practices have broken our relationship to land, to each other, and to ourselves—and what it means to return.
In this conversation we’re honored to be joined by Dr. Megan Peiser, tribally affiliated with the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma and co-chair of Oakland University’s Native American Advisory Committee. Megan will share the living story of Gidinawemaaganinaanig: Endazhigiyang—a Native American Rematriation Heritage Site whose name means “All Our Relations: The Place Where We All Grow.”
Content note: there is a little swearing in this conversation.
