Unlike mainstream Western culture, which tends to limit ‘knowing’ to what is categorized as ‘rational,’ indigenous cultures across the globe recognize multiple sources of knowledge an individual or community possess and can access, including traditional wisdom, dreaming, land knowing, symbols and images, shared knowledge through connectivity, and story, among others.

Daily Prompt <3 When the Ancestors Are Us
10 June 2016
Your ancestors will surround you as you sleep
keep away ghosts of generals presidents priests
who hunger for your
rare and tender tongue
They will keep away ghosts
so you have strength
to battle the living

Make art about ancestors, about what we can do to be good ancestors.
