One important aspect to bioregional organizing is to follow the work already being done by local Indigenous leaders.  There are several events and media sources which are intended for "all nations," ie for Indigenous and non-Indigenous people.

Corn Moon or Sturgeon Moon of September 6, Regenerative Goings-on in Milwaukee and nearby

Baby sturgeon do-do-di-do-di-do Hello regenerative-minded friends, I hope September brings harvests and yields to you memories in your favorite summer places, if your summer is now coming to a close as it is here in Milwaukee.  I'm glad I got on the water a few times, and I have at least one more kayak opportunity planned for this month.  Plus free boat rides at Sturgeonfest! Some people in the Great Lakes refer to this moon as the Corn Moon, and others refer to it as the Sturgeon Moon, and others west of here call it the Changing Colors Moon.  However the moon is revealing herself to you, the changing seasons are upon us.   Arrivals September 28th is SturgeonFest/HarborFest at Harbor Plaza in Milwaukee.  I will have a booth at this event where I'll be promoting Regenerate MKE, permaculture storytelling and the upcoming Milwaukee Immersion activities (see below).  I sponsored a baby sturgeon, and I get to release it after the blessing ceremony that day. ...
