Somos Pueblo (We Are Community) is rooted in our reconnection with LAND, establishment of transformative practices of stewardship, regeneration and reciprocity of LIFE, and building community-based autonomy through LIBERATION. Somos Pueblo is our campaign to exercise our right as Indigenous Peoples to practice community and self-determination unimpeded by fear, as we have done on these lands since time immemorial.
