It’s brutally obvious how much the "new age" has engaged in an extractive and often appropriative relationship with Indigenous knowledge and people. As part of the work of reparations, each year, they pay forward all of their May community earnings to the Native Women’s Shelter of Montreal AND organize a community Reparations fundraiser. We would love your help, whether it’s donating, signal boosting or joining their squad.
