Erin "Gizhigatte" Dixon
Turtle Island / Kanata / Canada
WHY HOME FOR HUMANITY?:
"The movement of Home for Humanity is a call into our collective vision, living into the spirit of our prophecy stories, nurturing the deeper vision of what is possible together and the heart of truth at the centre. Naturally weaving fields and waves of change ... unferrling, waymaking, transitioning, and for me gently nudging towards planetary health transformation. I can see three of her reflections standing in the waters."
