Projections 17: Planning Just Indigenous Futures
We were excited to take part in the publication of Projections 17: Planning Just Indigenous Futures - the 2023 volume of the flagship journal of the MIT Department of Urban Studies and Planning. Co-edited by Kevin Lujan Lee (Chamoru), Daniel Engelberg and yəhaw̓ Indigenous Creatives Collective, this volume seeks to encourage planning practice to more meaningfully align with diverse Indigenous-led movements for sovereignty and life.
The artworks featured in the journal were created by yəhaw̓ collective members. Each contributor helps us better understand the cultural currents that shape our built environments, our bodies, and our imaginations.
Artists include: Brenda Mallory (Cherokee), Eileen Jimenez (Ñätho/Otomi), Lehuauakea (Kanaka Maoli), Alex Britt (Nansemond), Denise Emerson (Skokomish, Navajo), and Epiphany Couch (spuyaləpabš/Puyallup, Yakama), with an essay by Asia Tail (Cherokee).

Past Publications
In 2019, as part of yəhaw̓, and in collaboration with Bellevue Community College, a set of literary and arts zines were published to celebrate Indigenous voice, presence, continuance, and the remarkable generativity of Indigenous writers working across genres in sacred Salish territories. Copies of the publications were gifted to hundreds of Indigenous community members.
