Mission: to tend to future generations by revitalizing cultural practices, birthing knowledge and nurturing community resilience.
Vision: a liberated future where Black and Indigenous women, Two-Spirit peoples and our kin are thriving, rooted in land, care and collective power.
This logo is not just a mark. It’s a prayer.
We are still here tending the future,
hands in the soil, eyes on the horizon.
The Tending Futures logo is rich with symbolism rooted in Black and Indigenous legacy, land stewardship and intergenerational care.
The Plant with roots and leaves reflects our grounding in ancestral wisdom. For Black communities, it honors survival through displacement. For Indigenous communities, it embodies connection to land and memory. The three leaves represent past, present and future or spirit, body and community.
The Sun rising or setting evokes ceremony, cycles and reclamation. It honors beginnings and endings, and nods to cosmologies that view time as circular centering our responsibility to future generations.
The Circle symbolizes wholeness, unity and protection. It echoes the medicine wheel and the sacred spaces where healing and collective decision-making happen. A commitment to community-led balance and reciprocity.
The Earth Line splits the circle like a horizon: above, visible growth and below, deep roots and buried stories. It resembles a seed breaking open, reminding us transformation requires rupture.
The Color (deep green) represents life, healing and the sacred bond with land. For Afro-Indigenous communities, it recalls gardens, forests and freedom spaces that nurtured survival.
