For most of human history, people lived from shared abundance — land, food, and resources cared for and used together. In Europe, these shared lands were known as the commons, until they were enclosed and taken by the few.
When Europeans colonized North America, the same pattern repeated. What had been done to their ancestors — the loss of shared land, forced dependence, and displacement — was done again to Indigenous peoples who lived within rich, reciprocal commons of their own.
Common Abundance exists to help restore what was lost — not through politics, but through simple community action: planting fruit trees, sharing skills, and rebuilding local abundance that belongs to everyone.
