Cyale
means gathering place. It is the Secwepemc word for the hollow in the hillside
where people gather, such as the one on Flo’s land. Flo tells stories of how people
would come for giveaways to this place since time immemorial.
She explains that
the farm is called Cyale to continue this legacy and tradition: to grow food
for her community, for her Nation, and for other Nations fighting for their
lands.
The late Wolverine
and Flo built a farm in Adam’s Lake First Nation, near Chase in so-called BC to
grow food for people in their community and also to support Frontline Land Defenders. They have been transporting a big portion of their harvest ever year
to the Unist’ot’en Yintah and to other Indigenous Frontlines. They grow
heirloom varieties of fruits and vegetables and save seeds for future use.
We are working with other supporters to raise funds for the critical infrastructure that Flo needs to keep the farm going and providing nourishment for Land Defenders.
Flo needs tractor tires which are $3800 and materials for constructing a greenhouse which we estimate at $2000.
To make a contribution to Flo, Food Sovereignty and Protection of the Land:

What I do know of our people out here was
that when it was time to go to war we weren’t pacifists. When we prayed at wartime we prayed to kill
our enemies, we prayed to be victorious; we prayed to be the winners of the
battle. Whatever that battle was,
whether it was over a broken paddle or a broken promise we weren’t peaceful, we
weren’t pacifists, we weren’t negating spirituality either; it was also
ceremonial.

I do believe that the creator lives inside
of everybody and I do believe in my ancestors and I do believe that I am doing
what’s right. The things that I am
motivated by and that keep me going are my Grandkids. I have a responsibility to them. It’s really sad that the work that we do as
Mothers and Grandmothers and Protectors and Warriors is vilified.

Rebelling is not like a cool thing you do
and then you go to college and then get a fucking job and then be a fucking
capitalist for the rest of your life.

It’s a colonial lie that we cannot support
each other in a diversity of tactics.

Look into your babies eyes and tell me,
tell me you are not going to do everything in your power to make sure they have
a future that doesn’t involve living in fucking consumer barracks, living in
the capitalist trenches of the cities fucking being mindless zombies living in
fucking boxes and buying fucking boxes and throwing fucking boxes away and then
ending up in a box and it all meant nothing and that’s the legacy. To me the legacy is freedom. The legacy is liberation. And maybe there will be blood shed, more than
already has been, and maybe that blood will be mine, but if there’s a future
worth having then it is worth it to me.
