Sovereignty is not being individual and personal—a right to control our own bodies and lives. The individual rational actor is an invention of capitalism, a concept that severs us from land and community. In reality, our bodies and our minds are #ecologies of myriad beings coming together and giving rise to a more or less #communalconsciousness—and are completely #interdependent with the humans and other-than-humans who share our landscape.
