Ekvn-Yefolecv is an intentional ecovillage community of Indigenous Maskoke people who have returned to live in their traditional land in current-day Alabama, practicing linguistic, cultural, and ecological sustainability. With only a handful of speakers remaining, Ekvn Yefolecv is revitalizing the Maskoke language through a youth immersion program in which Maskoke language is the sole medium of instruction. The curriculum centers on traditional agricultural and ecological knowledge and also supports new second-language learner adults. As part of their return to their ancestral lands, the Ekvn-Yefolecv community is building an eco-lodge called Vlahoke, an off-grid facility designed to host retreats, board meetings and spiritual gatherings, and will include a farm-to-table restaurant and a museum that centers on historical and contemporary quest for Indigenous justice.
