Hilary Giovale, descended from Celtic, Germanic, and Nordic peoples and a “ninth-generation settler” is a “reparative philanthropist” and community organizer who seeks to follow Indigenous and Black leadership in support of human rights, environmental justice and an equitable future. She uses storytelling and ritual in her work with groups of fellow Euro-descended settlers to understand the impacts of colonialism, rekindle ancestral memory, divest from whiteness, and make reparations.
