19 GIU 2025 · In early May, on the morning of the kuu.éex --a nightlong ceremony in celebration of Tlingit ways of life, to honor relatives, and in this specific gathering, the herring -- we circled round a coffee table, folks on the floor, in chairs, cozied up on the couch and listened to Deloole & Rochelle talk about protecting Indigenous sovereignty in the Yukon river water shed. They share about the importance of art, fighting big gas & oil companies, feeding their families, how to be an ally in their struggle... and calls to action, including a peaceful protest & media push this coming Friday, June 20, a Day of Prayer for Salmon. We want to bring attention to this vital work as this administration escalates the targeting of public - ie: stolen - land.
Deloole & Rochelle illuminate the many ways white settler colonial violence extracts from, steals, and harms indigenous people, the lands we live on, and our relatives – from herring, salmon & moose, to trees, forests and rivers – all of us across this continent.
Amidst violent ICE raids on Tongva land & across Turtle Island, & escalation of the genocide in Palestine, we bring you this heartfelt conversation from Lingit Aani, Tlingit land in Sitka, Alaska, with Deloole Erickson & Rochelle Adams, who organize with many groups, including Native Movement.
Stay tuned for an upcoming series in collaboration with the https://www.herringprotectors.org/ and https://movementgeneration.org/, deepening into many themes shared on this episode.
Thank you to Movement Generation for inviting so many of us to come together across the Salmon nation last summer, seeding generative relationships across colonially imposed borders. We are excited to keep building together.

14 SET 2024 · Welcome to this conversation between Co-founder, Layel Camargo, Wellness Practitioner, Erica Gibbons & Artist in Residence and Somatic Scribber Kate Morales, of Shelterwood Collective. We Rise is honored to be in community with Shelterwood, a queer, trans, black, indigenous, people of color-led land stewardship project located on unceded Kashia and Southern Pomo territory in so-called Cazadero, California.
In their 3 years of stewarding the 878 acre forest, the Shelterwood community has weathered wildfire, atmospheric flooding, the strains of the nonprofit industrial complex, and relationship tensions as they discover how to be in right relationship with themselves, one another, local indigenous tribe and the land to bring this project into sustainable being for future generations.
Kate, Layel & Erica offer us a generous deep dive into how Shelterwood is practicing and experimenting with a common thread in our communities: navigating triggers, tensions, & healing while trying to build the next world we want to live in. Shelterwood lets us into their process in hopes of continuing to illuminate an arduous but worthwhile journey.

17 LUG 2024 · Diasporic Care: We Show Up for Each Other
Welcome to Part 1 of 2 of this live recording from our Crosspollination community block party series. This event took place on June 8th, 2024. This episode features our opening prayer* with https://www.wellnesspromoters.net/, & the beginning of our speakers panel, featuring the brilliant hearts & minds of:
Sarah O'Neal, https://sarahadbiboneal.com/ABOUT
Lubna Morrar, https://palestinianfeministcollective.org/
Ant Lorenzo, https://www.liyangnetwork.org/
Mansi, https://www.asata.org/
Jesse Strauss, https://ijan.org/
Mira Stern, https://www.instagram.com/jvpbayarea/& https://www.mirastern.com/
*for the opening prayer, we invite you to gather a sprig of rosemary if you're able. if not & you have access to another plant or special object, we encourage you to get it so you can follow Uzo's guidance as you listen
What we get into throughout these two episodes:
How do we take care of us? What practices sustain us in these challenging times?What wisdoms are we drawing from to strengthen each other & our movements? How are we engaging in a diversity of tactics? For many of us, as we show up for each other here in Huchiun, we are also caring for our communities in our motherlands. We know all land is connected, all waters are connected. Like seeds, we know the power of diaspora, the potency of biodiversity to nourish & create liberatory ecosystems, never forgetting where we come from. From Huchiun to Palestine, from the Philippines to Mexico, we honor our interconnectedness across borders.
Gratitude to We Rise Advisor, teaching artist & theater worker Tierra Allen for MCing this event.
