Mission

Eastern Woodlands Rematriation (EWR) is a grassroots collective led entirely by indigenous two-spirits, womxn in the Northeast. EWR operates as an incubation space and mutual support network for tribal food producers, farmers, medicine keepers, fisher folk, and hunters based within our respective tribal homelands. Our initiatives leverage capacity building, infrastructure and technical support, and formation spaces for coordinated political organizing to enhance and agroecological land use, tribal gardens, home gardens, food forests, community apothecaries, small-scale fishing and planting fields. Our practice is rooted in the exchange of ancestral knowledge and traditional foods through mutual aid.
