Activities

These gatherings are a return—to land, to care, and to being in right relationship with one another. Guided by Indigenous leadership at United Indians of All Tribes Foundation, we come together to practice food sovereignty, cultural memory, and collective care in grounded, real ways.
This week, we’ll be planting and preparing a root garden—tending camas and other relatives that feed both people and possibility. The Forest Garden supports elders, youth, and Indigenous-centered community programs, and helps grow a future rooted in reciprocity and care.
Alongside the land work, we’re preparing for an optional book and film series in partnership with The Seattle Public Library Foundation. February–March readings include M-Archive by Alexis Pauline Gumbs and Hospicing Modernity by Vanessa Machado de Oliveira. Both are available on Libby and Audible, and hard copies will be available for those who’d like to pick one up.
Participation is flexible: land work will always be happening, whether or not you choose to join discussions or arts practices. You’re welcome to come just to tend the land, move your body, and be in community.
If you’re looking for a place to show up, build relationships, and imagine what’s possible together, this is a space to gather, care for the land, and grow something lasting.
