to my settler kin: listen to the people

By: miki tamblyn

miki tamblyn (she/they) is an animist, artist and nature connection mentor of mixed English and Irish descent. She is a settler on the traditional lands of the Attawandaron, Anishinaabek, and Haudenosaunee peoples living in so-called “Guelph” on the treaty lands of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. In her poetry and art miki explores themes of ancestral and cultural healing necessary for settlers to come into right relationship with our earth home and the Indigenous peoples of Turtle Island, reflective of the original jurisdiction of the Two Row Wampum and the
Dish with One Spoon covenant.
