Description

Sin u fhein, reader,

Is mise Cole MhicFhionghain from Clan MacKinnon.

I was born in Oshawa on Williams Treates, Mid-North Eastern Turtle Island.
Five generations ago my ancestral ties bind to Skye in the Inner Hebrides.


In this life, I am dedicated to reclaiming who I am and standing in solidarity with on-the-ground communities. Often I find myself learning, unlearning, learning again and living. I am guided by my core values of authenticity, growth, thoughtfulness and Loyalty.

My worship is nature-based. Being Inntinne Ceilteach, I follow druidic teachings. These teachings lead me to honour every footstep on the land where I walk. This includes acknowledging land defenders and the spiritual guides of the land in my practice.


I believe that locally enacted, globally connected, community-led direct action is a powerful means of regeneration: socially, ecologically and politically.


Should you have any questions, comments, or concerns regarding my activity, I am at your service with respect.

Tapadh Leibh,

What else ...

For those of you who are Volunteers,

I welcome the encounter ~

As I am, you can expect me to treat you regardless of who you are, with the highest respect. I tend to overthink, which means you can also expect me to be considerate, open and caring.

As a teammate, I will encourage you to do better. I enjoy planning and taking advantage of learning opportunities.

As a friend, you can expect me to be present when together, I'm a great empathizer. Together we can make a safe space.

Significant discoveries

Having prior involvement in lawn care, I found myself questioning these practices... I have since distanced myself from traditional lawn care culture due to the realization of the destructive effects it has and in good faith of true decolonization.

I have great respect for the many who practice veganism. When it comes to ethical consideration I have come to realize that just because something is vegan doesn't mean it's ethical or healthy. The systemic large-scale abuse of land and animals is still there, it just shifts from domestic animals to native biodiversity. I aim to target the direct separation of the relationship I have with my food.
