Native Presence — Action Sanctuary

Not a FAQ. A living action board: contribute with care, follow protocol, and keep Indigenous voices first.

🧭 Actions
🛡️ Protocol
🌙 Reciprocity

Choose one action for today

Small, respectful steps are enough. Your presence counts.
🪶

Offer a Remembrance

Bring a story, teaching, prayer, or memory—shared with consent and care.

  • 1 Name the source (nation/community/lineage) if safe to do so.
  • 2 Share meaning, not private details.
  • 3 Mark if it is public, community-only, or keeper-only.
You can submit text now. Media upload can come later.
🤝

Walk as a Respectful Ally

Support the sanctuary without taking space meant for Indigenous voices.

  • 1 Learn the basics (no extraction, no fixing, no arguing).
  • 2 Share the sanctuary with context (not as entertainment).
  • 3 Support Indigenous communities offline.
Ally actions are visible, but not centered.
🕯️

Light a Digital Candle

Mark grief, gratitude, or solidarity—quietly, without explanation required.

  • 1 Hold an intention.
  • 2 Choose a reason (optional).
  • 3 Leave it in the circle.
Not yet lit.

Kids & Families: Kindness Promise

A child-safe action: make one small promise of respect for people and land.

  • 1 Choose one promise (be gentle, listen, don’t tease, care for nature).
  • 2 Say it out loud with a parent/guardian (or quietly).
  • 3 Do one small action today to keep the promise.
No names, no addresses, no photos of children. Keep it safe.
🌿

Kids & Families: Care for the Land

A simple land-care act: clean, plant, or protect a small place near you.

  • 1 Pick a tiny task: pick up litter, water a plant, or make a ‘quiet corner.’
  • 2 Do it with respect (don’t disturb wildlife or sacred spaces).
  • 3 Leave a short note about what you did (no location details).
Keep locations general (city/region only). No photos needed.
🧭

Add Your Nation or Territory

Naming land carefully strengthens presence without exposing anyone.

  • 1 Share what you can safely name (nation, territory, community).
  • 2 Optionally add a public link (official page, org, language resource).
  • 3 Choose visibility level.
Avoid sharing addresses, private sites, or sensitive locations.
🌍

Share the Sanctuary

Expand the circle to those who need grounding—without turning it into content.

  • 1 Share with a sentence of context: ‘A space of presence.’
  • 2 Offer it privately first (DM / email) before public posts.
  • 3 Invite listening, not debate.
Sharing is helpful. Amplifying conflict is not.
🌙

Support Indigenous-Led Work

Reciprocity is action: money, time, skills—directed by Indigenous leadership.

  • 1 Support an Indigenous-led org you trust.
  • 2 Contribute skills (legal, tech, art) without expectation.
  • 3 Respect local protocols for land-based giving.
True reciprocity is a relationship, not a transaction.

Become a Sanctuary Steward

Stewardship is responsibility: uphold care, review submissions, protect integrity.

  • 1 Share your lane (review, welcoming, protocol care).
  • 2 Offer consistency, not visibility.
  • 3 Be ready to protect consent and safety.
Stewards may be asked to verify consent / context.
