Before we tend our first garden bed or harvest our first herbs, we must ask: whose land are we standing on? This Indigenous Peoples Day, we explore how pagan homesteaders can honor the original caretakers of these lands — not through appropriation, but through reciprocity, respect, and action. Discover how to homestead with awareness, give back to indigenous communities, and walk humbly on land that has been tended for tens of thousands of years.
