Description: This is the power of the poems as decolonial praxis. The poems of the Lumad students work against colonizing relationships. They speak to the intensity of violence that is experienced in their communities, to the pain and suffering that is felt by communities and the land. They speak too, to the strength of resistance to this violence, from the land, from the communities, from the young people. They point to the bittersweet pain of the present and the possibilities of an entangled future. And they, through their more-than-human, affective and resonant witnessing, invite others into relationships of responsibility. They invite readers to listen and act, to attend to and help bring about the possibility of a future and a present where land, care and connection are wealth that gives meaning to life, where Indigenous Lumad youth are respected and heard, leading with loud voices as a critical, reflective, and powerful generation.
