Over the last few months, PAN has been sharing digital resources for permaculture practitioners to learn about the indigenous lands and peoples of the northeast and the history of colonization in our bioregion. We are also sharing and promoting indigenous led initiatives in the northeast that are accomplishing amazing work related to food sovereignty, land stewardship, and more. We have compiled these resources into one place for all to refer to. Please note that this is in no way an exhaustive list. We hope to eventually dedicate a section of our website to these resources, and see this as a living list meant to be updated regularly.
