TRANSCRIPT
For me, soft action is bīskabiyang. Leanne Betasamosake Simpson describes this as a collective process of ‘returning to ourselves’. For nimaamaa and I, we are learning that this journey of finding and (re)connecting to a multiplicity of beings and places comes with many responsibilities. It is a process of nurturing many homes – our bodies, our spirits, our families and communities, our plant, animal and earthly kin, as well as our first home, Mother Earth.
