We wrote this piece a few years back, but history hasn’t changed...and neither have our calendars!

Can someone help us understand, why do 30 states in the USA still have a day dedicated to a violent, incompetent tyrant who had poor navigational skills and *accidentally* stumbled upon the Americas thinking he found India, but never actually set foot in North America? 🤔 THAT guy gets a day?!

It must be related to the reason why up until 2020, there was a street in Santa Barbara literally named “Indio Mu**to Street” which translates to dead Indian.

The reality is, the majority of Americans are still in denial about the real history of the America’s, and they don’t understand why decolonization is absolutely necessary to our survival.

The world desperately needs the wisdom that Indigenous Peoples have safeguarded throughout centuries of genocide and subjugation. Today and every day!

For years, the Wayuu women in our weaving collective have told us that safe drinking water is one of their most urgent needs.

After 6+ years of building trust-based relationships across more than a dozen remote Wayuu communities, we’re ready to take the next step of bringing water closer to home for families who need it most.

But we need your help to make it possible.

With a $250 donation you can provide a 1,000-liter water tank for a Wayuu family. We’ll handle the delivery and the logistics and you’ll get a beautiful handwoven water bottle as a thank you 🫶🏽

Donate at onethreadcollective.org or through the link in our bio.

Yesterday in Colombia we hosted another successful Water Wisdom Workshop with our partners at Talento Colectivo

This was another big step toward a goal we set at the beginning of the year of ensuring that every Wayuu woman in our weaving collective has access to safe drinking water 💧

Last March, our friends at W.A.T.A. helped us begin this work by donating 150 Sawyer water filters to families across more than a dozen Wayuu communities 🙏🏽

Our next priority: to distribute 1000-liter water tanks to families with access to less than 20 liters of water per person per day.

For just $250 you can provide a family with a water tank💧as a thank you you’ll receive a handwoven water bottle holder from the women you supported 👉🏽

Listen to the remarkable story of how Jackie first began working with Wayuu communities at the UN Association of Santa Barbara Luncheon, where Jackie was awarded this years Peace Prize.

Jackie Gilbert originally went to La Guajira, Colombia with a Witness for Peace delegation led by Aviva Chomsky and Emma Banks before returning as a Fulbright researcher to conduct fieldwork on the impacts of coal mining on Wayuu & Afro Colombian communities.

During her fieldwork a group of Wayuu women asked her to help them start a weaving project to bring fair trade work opportunities to women whose weaving talents was being exploited in the local marketplace.

A year later Jackie teamed up with Megan Battaglia and Paula Restrepo to start One Thread Collective. The project has grown to include more than a dozen remote Wayuu communities and counting!

Thank you to everyone who has supported us along this beautiful journey 🫶🏽
