𓆉 habi habi po works in Tkaronto, Mohawk for “the place in the water where the trees are standing” and Dish with One Spoon Territory. This land is the territory of the Anishinaabe, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee, the Huron-Wendat, and the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. Today, Turtle Island is still home to many Indigenous peoples. As racialized Filipino/a/x settlers on this land, we aim to deepen our understandings of Indigenous history here and in the Philippines, where Indigenous Peoples continue to struggle against red tagging, intimidation, and land theft. We work towards decolonization - which includes land back, allyship with the Black community and other communities of colour that continue to be oppressed, and we strive toward collective liberation for all.
