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).

It just happens that this area in Florida is the closest and provides easiest access to US #VirginIslands #USVI where #Epstein Island is located. I wouldn't read more than that into this correlation 🙂

⬆️ #Slavery of a different kind…

The two islands in the back are the #EpsteinIslands, less than 2 miles from #CruzBay in St John, US #VirginIslands

#JeffreyEpstein trafficked in and “enslaved” girls to hook billionaires and politicians on these islands for later blackmail

These islands are closer to St. Thomas and some of the coves near the island are popular snorkeling places for tourists (as long as they keep their heads under water instead of trying to see what was happening on the islands)
