Today on Indigenous Peoples' Day (and every day) we invite you to commit to the support of rematriation, or LAND BACK, of native land in your community.

[Counterpublic @Counterpublic26]

This is one concrete act for the preservation and return of one sacred site for stewardship, but we invite you to consider wider acts of return of land and life wherever you are.
