  4. Move from abundance – We come from a space of scarcity. We must work from a place of abundance
  5. We bring our people with us
  6. Deep relationships by attraction, not promotion
  7. Divest/invest
  8. We value our warriors
  9. Room for grace—be able to be human
  10. We cannot let our oppressors inhumanity take away from ours
  11. Strategy includes guidance

They are obviously from Indiana.

There is a project on the northwest side of Indianapolis at Fishback Creek where they are/have reclaiming it to its natural wetland state, from being cornfields. They had to go through the field and bust up all of the clay field drain pipes and then they let nature do the rest. I haven’t checked it out since around 2005, it might be time to go see how it’s changed.
