NAWAYÁ — free; not under the control or in the power of another; able to act or be done as one wishes; the freedom we find when we return to the source
In Atok where mountains are carved by hand into terraces and forests wear layers of moss, we are reminded that we are free the closer we are to the source.
On this land, agriculture is what sustains life: regenerative, rooted in reciprocity.
It feeds us and protects us, even as it withstands storms that grow stronger each year, worsened by systems that choose profit over people
And yet our communities rise
Our farmers rise
Our mountains rise
To collaborate with nature is to reclaim the power taken from us
To stand with the land is to step out of the traps of greed laid before us
Because so many still hold hope
that this could all be better
So we begin within our own power:
by asking questions
By refusing to accept what breaks us
By choosing accountability over apathy, community over corruption,
regeneration over extraction
Nawayá :
a return to freedom,
a return to the land,
a return to our own will
