In early 2024, Dr. Tammy Greer, Ida Aronson, Jenna Mae, Ozone 504 and Monique Verdin invited community to join in helping to build and activate an earthen mound to honor our ancestors and anchor our future. The site will include native plant gardens and a stickball field with intentions to provide pathways to health and healing, as well as a site for contemporary Indigenous lifeways, and communal gatherings.
The collective and their networks have been working in collaboration with each other and their Indigenous communities to make visible the Intertribal histories and present realities across Louisiana and the Gulf South.
