Meet the 2024-2026 #NDN #Changemakers
By Jordynn Paz • March 5, 2025
"In October, NDN Collective announced the recipients of the 2024/26 Changemaker Fellowship, a cohort of 21 #Indigenous leaders from throughout #TurtleIsland, Islands of #Hawaii, #Borikén / #PuertoRico, the U.S. territories of American #Samoa, #Guam, the Northern #Mariana Islands, and the U.S. #VirginIslands. These incredible fellows are transforming their communities, defending Indigenous lands and waters, developing solutions for #regenerative and #sustainable futures, and revitalizing #IndigenousLanguages, #governance, #ceremonies and ways of being.
"We are honored to support the important and necessary work of each of these changemakers through this two-year fellowship program. With the NDN Changemaker Fellowship, individuals will focus on education, skill building, networking, community building, theory of change mapping, and mentorship."

>> Pretty unsurprising that the largest concentration of "visitors" to Epstein Island appear to have been located in Florida. And the largest within Florida appear concentrated around West Palm Beach (conveniently close to the Mar-a-Lago Club).

Donkeys have been on these islands for hundreds of years. They helped operate the windmills in #slave #plantation sugar factories when the wind wasn’t strong enough for the windmills to turn on their own
#Slavery of a different kind…
