No one chooses to leave home, climate forces the move. #GrowingPapayaTrees #FreshBananaleaves #indigenousscience #nature #environment

Environmental racism is not an accident. It is the result of decisions about whose land, health, and future are valued. #FreshBananaLeaves #GrowingPapayaTrees #IndigenousScience #EarthDaughters

For many Indigenous communities, hunting, fishing, and whaling are not sports or commodities. They are expressions of culture, responsibility, and survival. #FreshBananaLeaves #GrowingPapayaTrees #IndigenousScience #EarthDaughters

Caring for the earth is caring for ourselves. Our wellbeing is directly tied to the health of the land. #Freshbananaleaves #growingpapayatrees #indigenousscience #nature

Land is not a resource, it is relation.  #freshbananaleaves #growingpapayatrees #indigenousscience #indigenousauthors #book

My choices are never mine alone. They ripple through my community, shaping something much bigger than me. #Freshbananaleaves #growingpapayatrees #indigenousscience #nature

Individualism centers “me,” but I was raised to center “us.” Community, care, and collective responsibility are what guide how I move, so individualism doesn’t align with that. #Freshbananaleaves #growingpapayatrees #indigenousscience #nature

Good ancestors build futures they won’t live in, but deeply believe in. #freshbananaleaves #growingpapayatrees #indigenousscience #nature #environment

We have been living in harmony with our environments longer than settlers have been on these lands. #FreshBananaLeaves #GrowingPapayatrees #IndigenousScience #nature #environment

Respect Indigenous sovereignty. #freshbananaleaves #growingpapayatrees #indigenousscience #indigenousauthors #books

Defending the Land is defending life. #freshbananaleaves #growingpapayatrees #indigenousscience #indigenousauthors #books

Listen to the Land, it already knows. #freshbananaleaves #growingpapayatrees #indigenousscience #indigenousauthors #book

A good ancestor plants hope they may never see bloom. #Freshbananaleaves #growingpapapayatrees #indigenousscience #indigenouswomen #nature #environment

Stewardship is a responsibility. #freshbananaleaves #growingpapayatrees #indigenousscience #indigenousauthors #book

Indigenous science turns observation into responsibility. #Freshbananaleaves #growingpapapayatrees #indigenousscience #indigenouswomen #nature #environment

Why is the face of conservation still white men? #FreshBananaleaves #GrowingPapayaTrees #IndigenousScience #nature #environment

The Earth remembers our ancestors. #freshbananaleaves #growingpapayatrees #indigenousscience #indigenousauthors #books

Rising waters are rewriting where we call home. #GrowingPapayaTrees #FreshBananaLeaves #IndigenousScience #nature #environment

Displacement is the human face of climate change. #GrowingPapayaTrees #FreshBananaLeaves #IndigenousScience #environment #nature

The birth of Western conservation is rooted in racism and anti-Indigeneity.  #FreshBananaLeaves #GrowingPapayatrees #IndigenousScience #nature #environment

Our Lands are our oldest cultural heirlooms. #GrowingPapayaTrees #FreshBananaLeaves #IndigenousScience #nature #environment

Care for the world you will never see. #FreshBananaLeaves #GrowingPapayaTrees #IndigenousScience #nature #environment

Just a cute check-in 💛🌱 Have you read Growing Papaya Trees: Nurturing Indigenous Roots During Climate Displacement? ✨📖 #IndigenousVoices #ClimateStories #GrowingPapayaTrees #CommunityCare #IndigenousAuthors

Care is strength, not weakness. Matriarchs teach us that tending to land, people, and spirit is powerful work that sustains communities. Colonial systems, by contrast, normalize apathy and meanness, often rebranding them as “directness” or efficiency.  #FreshBananaLeaves #GrowingPapayaTrees

All environmental loss for Indigenous peoples is cultural loss. #FreshBananaLeaves #GrowingPapayaTrees #IndigenousScience #nature #environment

We are our Lands, and our Lands are a part of us. #GrowingPapayaTrees #FreshBananaLeaves #IndigenousScience #nature #environment

Be the ancestor future generations will thank. #FreshBananaLeaves #GrowingPapayaTrees #IndigenousScience #nature #environment

Ecological grief is the loss colonialism and climate change produce together. #FreshBananaLeaves #GrowingPapayaTrees #IndigenousScience #nature #environment

Justice for the land means justice for people. #FreshBananaLeaves #GrowingPapayaTrees #IndigenousScience #Nature #LandBack

Migration is a natural wonder when it's butterflies and a crisis only when it's humans. #GrowingPapayaTrees #FreshBananaLeaves #IndigenousScience #nature #environment

Nature protects us as long as we protect nature. #FreshBananaLeaves #GrowingPapayaTrees #IndigenousScience #nature #environment

Climate change is a justice issue, not only a science issue. #FreshBananaLeaves #GrowingPapayaTrees #IndigenosuScience #Nature #Climate

📚⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ @doctora-nature.bsky.social has grown as a writer, resulting in a book that exceeds its predecessor. She connects everything that feels overwhelming in the world at its single point of intersectional nexus, and provides us a universal solution - empower Indigenous women to lead policy.

new episode of the @migrationpolicy.bsky.social "Changing Climate Changing Migration" podcast just posted! @doctora-nature.bsky.social talk about displacement of Indigenous communities Find it wherever you get yr podcasts

I’m looking to uplift the conversation on climate displacement as I share my new book Growing Papaya Trees. ✨🌿 A book rooted in Indigenous stories, memory, and the lived realities of climate displacement. #COP30 #IndigenousAuthors #ClimateDisplacement

✨🌿 In a world that teaches us to uplift colonial values and systems rooted in competition and name recognition, be the exception. Let others walk beside you; my teachings remind me that we can all get there together. ✨🌿 #IndigenousAuthors #LandBack #IndigenousVoices #AbolishColonialism

I‘ve noticed a pattern on here that when I respond to a woman friend/mutual to disagree with something they’ve said, people who follow me start to engage in pile on type behavior even when we are just having a friendly disagreement Doesn’t happen to the men I reply to,
