Daybreak Community & Land TendingJuly 02, 11am-3pm @ Daybreak Star We invite you to join us in tending the land at Daybreak Star Cultural Center. These gatherings are a return—to land, to care, and to being in right relationship with one another. Guided by Indigenous leadership at the United Indians of All Tribes Foundation, we come together to practice food sovereignty, cultural memory, and collective care in ways that are grounded, relational, and real. This season, we are tending the Forest Garden, a living space that supports elders, youth, and Indigenous-centered community programs while growing a future rooted in reciprocity, responsibility, and long-term care. All ages are welcome. You’re invited to come move your body, tend the land, and be in community—whether you stay for a couple of hours or the full day. Together, we’ll engage in hands-on care of the land through planting, weeding, harvesting, and seasonal projects, while also making space for connection, learning, and shared reflection. If you’re looking for a place to show up, build relationships, and grow something lasting, this is a space to gather, care for the land, and imagine what’s possible—together. more |
