Harvest of All First Nations

Food justice and sovereignty and corn festival - our fjs and corn festival program will be focused on food justice and sovereignty in urban garden & farm settings locally. As All of our programs and projects are initiated by the needs and request of community members, we are working with local collaborators, educators, indigenous leaders, and land stewards to bring land access and participatory education opportunities for underserved families, individuals, and bipoc+ to co-create actionable equity and trust building.

Solidarity anti racism learning program - Harvest of All First Nations offers a solidarity and anti-racism learning program designed to help participants heal internalized white supremacy and internalized oppression, looking specifically at the ways they show up as obstacles in even well-intentioned efforts at anti-racism and community work. The goal is to support participants in developing the capacities to act in solidarity with First Nations, people of color, and other marginalized groups. Over the course of 6 bi-monthly workshops, facilitators use brave space agreements to allow the group to practice discussing racism and other forms of oppression and repair any conflict that arises. While the concepts presented are important, the transformation comes from learning from and with each other through perspective-taking and dialogue. The workshops examine inner, interpersonal, institutional and ideological oppression.

Cultural education for systems change - we bring indigenous traditional ecological knowledge (tek) and environmental and social justice principals to the front of our curriculum. Our mission is to decolonize conventional ways of learning and knowing by applying traditional ecological knowledge through individual and collective lenses. Additionally, we assist representatives of bipoc+ and underserved communities to advocate for them while making presence at places that our voices are usually not included. Through the lens of educational teachings, workshops, land acknowledgements and equity consultancy based on ancestral wisdom, we are utilizing diverse indigenous worldviews to create equity within our communities as we connect to the natural world; using an interactive experience that will further the understanding of the natural world beyond the boundaries of conventional western ecological paradigms, and in the process, expand and deepen the relationship with All the communities of life.
