Babes, tbh, you can do so much better.

If a situation came to mind, then this is your sign, to in fact, do better.

Do so much damn better πŸ’«

Back from a social media hiatus. Back from rewiring my roots.

Many people are mistaking their moral failures as β€œopinions”, and it really shows.

I had the honour of visiting the Lands and People of Whitehorse, Yukon! πŸ”οΈ

I got to present my keynote on Healing Our Relationship with the Land, along with workshops on eco-somatic practices for early learners.

This is my immediate strategy for surviving this time:

Plant trees. Buy seeds. Make compost. Make plans for my garden. Walk outside. Lift weights. Read books. Make art.

I planted bulbs the day after the election. They are under the frozen ground, resting and doing their thing. Every day I look

It’s easy to feel helpless right now, but remember we have tremendous capacity to help one another

Small acts of kindness like wearing a respirator, checking on someone who might be all alone, making a meal for someone in need, donating to mutual aid….These things have a huge impact

Love over hate

How does terrorizing farm workers, school kids and hard working immigrants make America great, especially when you release and pardon violent insurrectionists?

White Nationalism is Nazism.

One of my Ancestors was part of the ☠️ of settlers because they were starving his People.

I’m not saying I’m kind of like my Ancestor.

I’m saying I’m an embodiment of him.

Delete your social media apps for about 50% or more of the week. Use that time to connect with yourself, others, and Land 🀍

Dear Trolls,

I told the Land and Waters about you.

But they didn’t know your name.

As a certified trauma informed somatic coach, I have created a workshop for educators of early learners that integrates somatics with the Land, aka eco-somatics, for meaningful circle time πŸ’š

Now taking books for April and May 🌱

My embracing of gender diverse folks is rooted in Ancestral coding, human rights, science, care, and community.

Your denial of gender diverse folks is rooted in colonial coding, bigotry, ignorance, fear, and elitism.

We are not the same.

Even if you voted for him, you can still change your stance on things. You can still uphold humanity, dignity, and ethics. You can still change to give others a chance.

Keep living within your Ancestral memory, my Two Spirit & Indigenous Trans and Gender Diverse Relatives.

Colonial rule cannot and will not ever break our Ancestral memories and coding πŸͺΆπŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆπŸ³οΈβ€βš§οΈ

There was always more than two genders in America. Always will be.

β€œYou don’t look Native.”

My bad. I left my eagle, teepee, and moccasins at home πŸ™ƒ

I dress like a Native because I AM Native. I behave like a Native because I AM Native. I speak like a Native because I AM Native. I write and create like a Native because I AM Native.
