Cyale means gathering place. It is the Secwepemc word for the hollow in the hillside where people gather, such as the one on Flo’s land. Flo tells stories of how people would come for giveaways to this place since time immemorial.

She explains that the farm is called Cyale to continue this legacy and tradition: to grow food for her community, for her Nation, and for other Nations fighting for their lands.

The late Wolverine and Flo built a farm in Adam’s Lake First Nation, near Chase in so-called BC to grow food for people in their community and also to support Frontline Land Defenders. They have been transporting a big portion of their harvest ever year to the Unist’ot’en Yintah and to other Indigenous Frontlines. They grow heirloom varieties of fruits and vegetables and save seeds for future use.

We are working with other supporters to raise funds for the critical infrastructure that Flo needs to keep the farm going and providing nourishment for Land Defenders.

Flo needs tractor tires which are $3800 and materials for constructing a greenhouse which we estimate at $2000.
