Tiny House Communities – Affordable housing for people in need.

 

We will tour successful tiny house communities that are intentionally designed for people in need. These communities have been built and supported, by residents and townspeople, in order to reduce the housing insecurity that is surging all over our country.This tour will take us across the U.S. – from Syracuse, Detroit, Washington and Oregon, and back!

 

This will most certainly involve our crew traveling by train and car. We are currently researching and planning the best use of time for this trip. Stay posted!

 

Key to this project is our mission to help usher these types of project here in Vermont. There are 2 counties currently considering these type proposals.

 

With our first-hand knowledge, We’ll help make this happen when we return!

Native Americans' Inspiring And Enduring Resurgence: From Standing Rock To Ojibwe V Minnesota

Date: Friday, August 11, 2017


More than 10,000 people came to show solidarity with the people of the Standing Rock Sioux, protesting the Dakota Access Pipeline being proposed to be built under the Missouri River, within their reservation’s lands.

 

This is THE largest congregation of Native Americans and allies in a century!

 

The rippling effects of this movement is palpable.

 

We will travel to another battle gaining momentum in the indigenous community’s fight to assert their sovereignty and basic rights.

 

Indigenous Americans “en masse wild rice harvest” in late August in northern Minnesota will most likely continue this battle in court – an profound test case about treaty rights.

 

Leech Lake Ojibwe band member Arthur LaRose, chairman of the 1855 Treaty Authority, has said that his group’s concerns go beyond ricing, fishing and hunting. “From pipelines, to wild rice and walleye, the State of Minnesota does not appear to be protectively regulating the natural resources,” LaRose wrote to Governor Mark Dayton.

 

Come with us to learn and document this historic resurgence!
