Yakanal – Indigenous Youth Cultural Exchange
We propose to continue Mother Moon, an Indigenous-led effort to research, protect, and share traditional knowledge of the Moon to animate ancestral wisdom and practice related to women’s/non-binary and community wellbeing. Through intercultural collaborations including Maya/Zapotec/Mixtec//Pueblo young adults and elders, we hope to nourish unique attributes connected to the Moon in the context of fertility, midwifery, weaving, natural pigments, native foods, plant medicine, and cultural astronomy..
