Go Back and Fetch it.
Reviving a Matriculture means remembering humanity’s original way of organizing life through care, reciprocity, and kinship with all beings.
It is not about reversing patriarchy or placing one gender above another—it is about restoring balance and coherence between the feminine and masculine, human and beyond-human, giving and receiving.
A Matricultural society centers the mothering principles of creation, nurturance, and protection, recognizing that love and relationship are the true foundations of governance and economy.
By revitalizing these Indigenous ways, or returning to them, we repair the rupture that severed people from Earth, community, and spirit, and evolve our systems toward a future of work, life and pleasure we all deserve.
Reviving Matriculture is both remembrance and evolution—bringing forward the ancestral wisdom of how life flourishes in balance, and reimagining it for the world being born now.
Wealth is the strength of relationships on the banks of the STREAM, co-creating value in her flow.
STREAM, an Indigenous Axiology
The STREAM was born from years of collaboration and radical imagination among Indigenous Elders and knowledge keepers who carry the living memory of how life organizes itself through relationship and reciprocity. Their collective wisdom arose in response to decades of failed development models—projects where money flowed in without community engagement, deep listening, or accountability, creating new divides between those who have and those who do not.
The STREAM offers a different way forward: a living system where resources move in harmony with community wisdom, ensuring that wealth, care, and decision-making remain connected to the people and places they are meant to serve.
We Make Meaning and Value in a STREAM:
(S) Sacred Space - through ceremony or spiritual practice we revitalize ways of healing, relating, dreaming and knowing in the collective
(T) Time - we look beyond quick fixes to see what is important now and over longer time horizons, we track and understand the seasons and ages of the Earth
(R) Respect - we strengthen relationship with the human and more than human world, Kinship
(E) Energy - an indescribable force - folk soul- emerges from the collective, unleashing new potential
(A) Attention - We gain the ability to see what is mine, yours and ours, we can succeed without a boss
(M) Matter - What are the elements - materials, money, technology, that need to be offered back into the STREAM to keep it flowing?
