100% heavyweight cotton tee reminding us that we’re all one and deeply interconnected. I drew the salmon lifecycle during my undergrad while interning with the POLIS Water Sustainability project- it was my first time learning about the salmon lifecycle through a community connectedness and ecological governance lens.

The back reads:

“The salmon life cycle is a powerful example of how all life within an ecosystem is interconnected, linking the ocean, rivers, forests, bears, and humans in a continuous cycle of divine nutrient transfer.

Humans are not separate from Earth and its natural systems, but key players within it- we are multi-dimensional creator beings connected to all that is. You experience harmonious outcomes by fostering a healthy relationship with Earth- leading with honour, intention, protection, and remembrance of your origins.

Salmon are profound keystone species – their entire life cycle feeds, sustains, and regenerates entire ecosystems. They begin as tiny eggs in freshwater streams, migrating to the ocean to grow and eventually returning to the same rivers they were born in to spawn and give their bodies back to the land. In death, they nourish everything – their nutrients feed forests, enrich soil, strengthen rivers, and sustain countless beings: eagles, bears, wolves, insects, even the towering trees. One of many beautiful Earth examples of how humans, wildlife, forests and acquatic systems are harmoniously intertwined.

When you feel lost, remember that you are not just an observer of Earth, but a creator within it: a crucial thread in the cosmic web. When you remember a world of unity, equality, peace, balance, and interconnection- we then witness the harmonic, safe, endlessly healing, and ever-sustaining home we all share. We remember now that Earth is not a resource, but a relative, and we therefore love and protect her as one.”

This tee is my love letter for Earth, and our relationship with one another. Wear and represent it as an act of justice for what kind of life our home and mother deserves. We are her relatives.

This tee is also an emblem for my respect, gratitude and admiration of the POLIS Project on Ecological Governance. Learn more about the great work they do for the lands and province of British Columbia and the communities living within it: www.polisproject.org
