Dear readers,

How are you doing as we enter the last season of the year?

We’d like to open this issue by highlighting an exciting opportunity by the NDN Collective for our readers of Indigenous roots based in North America. If you are over 18 and are dedicating yourself in the work of defending, developing, or decolonizing your community for “sustainable solutions on Indigenous terms” but are in need of some financial stability to help you realize your visions, you should definitely take a look at their NDN Changemaker Fellowship

Application due: October 21, 2022 at 5pm (Central Time)
