My Homes As Stolen Land

There are many pieces of land that I have found home in: land in a city apartment window box, land that apartment is built upon, land beneath homes I no longer occupy, land on a college campus. I question how to negotiate relationships with these segments of colonized land. Places I have called home that our stolen homelands of others.

 Robert Warrior argues the importance of understanding personhood of place; that humanity is not the pinnacle of life, in this relationship with land. I will look to alternative spaces created by Indigenous Peoples for knowledge of demands being made of me.
