“Wha will be a traitor knave?
Wha can fill a coward’s grave!
Wha sae base as be a slave?
Let him turn and flee!

Wha for Scotland’s king and law
Freedom’s sword will strongly draw,
Freeman stand, or freeman fa’,
Let him follow me!”
— Robert Burns, 1793

November 6th has come and gone, and its interesting how many people want to talk to me about my feelings on a second Trump administration.

The path ahead is not paved with ease. The scars of colonialism are deep, and the task of healing is immense. But in reclaiming our natural heritage, we reclaim a sense of belonging, a connection to something larger than ourselves, a source of profound strength and resilience.
