This essay operates through a trickster story as philosophy essay format, which focuses on the discussion of the nature of a kind of trickster decolonial resistance grounding in kinship with the Land. In this trickster story, Jisdu, the Cherokee rabbit trickster, visits the Vatican for a conference on happiness and well-being. While traveling through the Earth to reach the Vatican (Elohi), Jisdu is presented a lecture by Elohi regarding the meaning of kinship with Land and decolonial resistence. When Jisdu reaches the Vatican, he tries out these Earth lessons on an unsuspecting Cardinal. Lessons are learned, trickstering occurs, faces turn red, and laughs are had.
