land acknowledgement

as deadbird and its traveling altar can anybody help me hold this body travels across Turtle Island (Northern America), we recognize all of the Indigenous peoples of these lands, past, present, and here now. only a few of these peoples are named here. we encourage you to learn more about where you are as you are asking the land to hold and compost your grief and offering. we acknowledge these traditional, ancestral, unceded territories by grieving our loved ones with the land as an actionable exchange and reciprocity. in doing so we engage in our responsibility to the history of these sacred lands, rooted in our respect and continued accountability.
