Weaving Our Worlds humbly invites you to an evening of Indigenous knowledge-sharing and Indigenous resistance to settler-colonialism on these lands. Indigenous peoples continue to resist many colonial violences — capitalist extraction and land theft, policing and incarceration, the crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous relatives, drug poisoning crisis, ongoing apprehension of Indigenous children, and settler racism and domination — while asserting Indigenous knowledge, culture, and life.

Alex Wilson, land-based two spirit educator from Opaskwayak Cree Nation, writes "Our knowledge, cosmologies (how we understand ourselves within the wider multiverse), and all of the relational structures that connect to that knowledge have been impacted and, to some degree, severed by colonialism. When we say ‘Land Back,’ we are acknowledging and invoking those ancient knowledge systems and calling for a validation of them in our contemporary times.”
