What is Land Back?
It is a relationship with Mother Earth that is symbiotic and just, where we reclaim stewardship.
It is bringing our People with us as we move towards liberation and embodied sovereignty through an organizing, political and narrative framework.
It is a long legacy of warriors and leaders who sacrificed freedom and life.
It is a catalyst for current generation organizers and centers the voices of those who represent our future.
It is recognizing that our struggle is interconnected with the struggles of all oppressed Peoples.
It is a future where Black reparations and Indigenous LANDBACK co-exist. Where BIPOC collective liberation is at the core.
It is acknowledging that only when Mother Earth is well, can we, her children, be well. It is our belonging to the land – because – we are the land.
What does it mean for your gift to Rose Island Farm?
Gifting to Rose Island Farm means supporting an Indigenous matriarch, Melissa Meyer, as she tends the land and cares for BIPOC and Indigenous kin as we collectively (re)member and embody our practices of land stewardship and reciprocity. Upon their first visit to the farm, our beloved kin find peace, (re)member their original relationships with land, and reconnect with their sacred kinships and responsibilities. Our Ancestors cultivated millennia of practices based in maintaining the balance between all living beings. This includes our original foods that remember how to sustain our bodies as they sustained our Ancestors—In the same way, those foods were sustained by our practices and traditions—Ancestral reciprocity. Our ability to be truly sovereign requires restoring those connective tissues. Across the Indigenous Nations, globally, we have become separated from lands and foods, and from the practices that keep us in right and balanced relationship with them. Melissa has come to deeply understand her role as a young elder, mentor, and teacher as she supports others in this journey.
