"Note to reader:
This piece is meant primarily for non-Indigenous people living on Indigenous lands. It is supposed to confront, while simultaneously comforting your uneasiness around land back and reparation conversations and actions. Please take your time in reading this, exploring where in your thoughts and body your discomfort shows up. Acknowledging and unpacking how it makes you feel is an important part of personal growth. Also this is only an opinion piece: recognizing the diversity of Indigenous teachings, governance and lived experiences means that Indigenous people will have different interpretations of this topic. "
When grandmothers and knowledge keepers say it, I tend to think it means more the stewardship and protection of mother earth. When Indigenous political leaders say it, it often means comprehensive land claims and self-governing agreements. No matter what meaning is attached, we as Indigenous nations have an urge to reconnect with our land in meaningful ways.
This is primarily about the First Nations of Turtle Island, but I believe the premise of it applies to all indigenous people harmed by colonialism worldwide. Simply apply this logic to the place where you are.
And it's a Very good starting point for understanding the concept of Landback. It has some ways you can start supporting Landback and even lists accounts to follow. Please click and read though it~

Researchers say newly discovered archival records reveal an important connection between Ontario First Nations and Irish famine victims.
The Irish Potato Famine was a period of starvation and disease in Ireland, and one of the most traumatic events in modern Irish history. Year after year, the country's potato crop failed. By the time the worst was over, one million people had died of disease and starvation. Survivors were forced to emigrate. In the summer of 1847, Toronto gave refuge to 38,000 Irish famine victims — at a time when Toronto's population was only 20,000.
The part of this history that is virtually unknown is the contribution to the relief fund from Indigenous communities in Canada.
"At least 15 bands answered the call and requested that donations be deducted from their government annuities, added to the fund, and then sent to 'our suffering fellow subjects and Christian brethren in Ireland and Scotland,'' according to Mark McGowan's research. McGowan is a professor of history at the University of Toronto and has spent time going through the archival documents. [...]

“I struggled through school, being spoon-fed out of a bucket of whiteness every day,” he reflects. “I found ambition, pursued a formal education after high school and beyond but I knew I was just buying time and building credentials. I was subversive, contrarian, driven, and ready to do something big and bold. I wanted to turn the whole education system of torture on its head. I just needed to find a way.”

✦ AGOKWE // OKITCITAKWE FLAGS
Two flags for the two-spirit Ojibwe terms Agokwe and Okitcitakwe. These are meant to not be understood by non Ojibwe/Chippewa people but loosely translate to Agokwe meaning "man-woman" (transwoman) or "man born woman" and Okitcitakwe meaning "Warrior woman" (transman).
The orange and yellow on each flag represent the sun shining, bringing upon another day of blessings by Gitchi-Manidoon and the two browns represent the earth. On each flag the pink/blue are colorpicked from the according transfem/transmasc flags.
Do not use these flags or terms if you are not Ojibwe/Chippewa, that would be considered cultural appropriation. Mod who made this is Ojibwe herself and identifies with the Agokwe label.
Also, a late day of mourning from me to all of my other Native followers, I hope you had a quiet and peaceful day.
