On This Patch of Grass
City Parks on Occupied Land
Parks are a certain kind of property, and thus creations of law, and they are subject to all kinds of presumptions about what parks are for, and what kinds of people should be doing what kinds of things in them. Parks — as they are currently constituted — are colonial enterprises.

Honouring Women, Life Givers, and Water Protectors

Even if you never have children, you have that sense, and the duty to honour and protect the water is within you,” writes Traverse.
