Since Time Tee

The phrase "Since Time Immemorial" carries profound meaning within Indigenous contexts, signifying the deep, unbroken connection between Indigenous peoples and their lands, cultures, and ways of life. It transcends colonial timelines, rejecting the notion that Indigenous histories began with contact or documentation.

Eternal Connection to Land
The phrase affirms that Indigenous peoples have lived on and cared for their ancestral territories for countless generations—long before colonization, borders, or written records. It speaks to a relationship with the land that is not bound by time but rooted in cycles of life, stewardship, and reciprocity.

Rejection of Colonial Narratives
Colonial systems often attempt to erase Indigenous histories or reduce them to post-contact stories. "Since Time Immemorial" counters this erasure, asserting Indigenous presence, knowledge, and governance as predating and persisting through colonial disruptions.

Cultural Continuity and Identity
It highlights the resilience of Indigenous cultures, languages, and traditions, which have endured despite centuries of oppression. The phrase reflects an enduring legacy of wisdom, storytelling, and practices passed down through generations.

Sacred Time and Space
In many Indigenous worldviews, time is cyclical and interconnected. "Since Time Immemorial" reflects this understanding, where the past, present, and future are woven together, and existence is tied to spiritual and ecological balance.

Why It Matters Today

This phrase is not only a reminder of historical truths but also a call to honor and respect Indigenous sovereignty, rights, and knowledge systems. It challenges settler societies to recognize and address the historical injustices that have sought to sever this timeless connection.

"Since Time Immemorial" is a testament to resilience, a reclaiming of narrative, and a reminder that Indigenous peoples are not only part of the past but essential to the present and future of Turtle Island and beyond.
