๐ต๐ญ๐ค๐ชถ From Turtle Island to the Islands โ two cultures, one shared fight to protect whatโs sacred.
This June, we celebrate Filipino Heritage Month and Indigenous History Month โ honoring the resilience of peoples shaped by colonization, yet never defined by it.
As Filipino-Canadians, we live on land that isnโt ours โ Turtle Island, where Indigenous Peoples have long protected the land, water, and their way of life.
In the Philippines, Canadian mining companies continue to operate on Indigenous lands โ displacing communities, damaging ecosystems, and in some cases, silencing those who speak out.
Here in Canada, the story isnโt so different.
That connection calls us not just to reflect, but to stand.
To listen. To walk beside.
To recognize that solidarity is a responsibility โ not a slogan.
We rise together, with care and respect.
