Shelley Buffalo, Decolonial Pathfinder, is a food sovereignty, rematriation and restorative justice advocate. Through collaborative partnerships and her consultancy, Water Panther, Buffalo mindfully directs her labor to penetrate and transcend the colonial mindset. Through creative and compassionate solutions, Buffalo seeks a path forward to a livable, equitable and biodiverse future on Earth. The story of Grandmother Spider who weaves the pattern of life on Earth teaches us the creative potential of making the pattern more beautiful than before as we hone our skills and vision informed by humility, value and respect for life on Earth. Buffalo calls on her ancestors to help her weave with Grandmother’s hands; with wisdom, love and care for all of creation.
