No one has ever held the US or any European county responsible for genocide here. It certainly meets the UN definition, even if it started way before the end of WW II by nearly 500 years. It goes on today as well. #MMIWP

They had played a #prank on her. They were trouble makers for the most part. Some tribes of Vo’estanēso were mean, violent. Others, while still tiny tricksters, could be helpful. They were surprise made flesh. Oh well. At least she got an #update on her man. She missed him.

That I am currently mapping. I do have to tell you my eldest daughter is an artist. That doesn’t mean I won’t need one. I still may. But I also work full time as a professor, so I am likely to write slowly.

Unread Message

This is not a love letter.
It’s something caught between
missed calls,
half-started messages,
years of unresolved
absence—
the way we flicker
on and off the screen,
ghosts in the wires.

At night, I can’t tell
if I’m remembering you
or imagining.
If this is
then or now—
the with,
the without.

I wait in the space
your shape once filled,
when you thought
you loved me,
and I hear it still—
your voice,
almost breaking.

It comes in pieces
I keep waking from—
the silence shaped like
what we could have had.

Meona’hane’e awoke with a start, her sacred items scattered before her on the blanket. Little People. Vo’estanēso. What her man called “Nunupi.” Vé’ho’e might call them “#brownie” or “leprechaun.”They played #frequent tricks on humans, even stole things like tobacco or socks.

Goddamn. What a sobering and poignant piece of conceptual art. What an amazing artist.

Y’all could come like my novel in progress instead of my cute comments to God. I mean, my snarkiness is funny, but not nearly as good as the novel. 😂

Stay with me, Flame.
Even when it all feels backwards.
Even when surrender tastes like ashes.

You’re not being punished.

You’re being poured out like oil.
And every drop is holy.

Dawn explained Xalapa’s mission, the training they came for, their tearful departure. “To me, SHE’S a goddess, but the real issue but that she WORSHIPS one. She is a DEDICANT to one, & I can’t compete with Chalchiuhtlicue. I’m just a wee human being, & She is our Life-Giving Waters.”

Pt198 Dawn felt their throat clench in the center of their chest. Their face was transparent, especially to Quetta. “Oh, Hon,” Quetta murmured, putting her arm around them. “You got it bad for this one. What happened?”
“#Rules. That’s what happened. She had rules from her Order.”

This is my most ambitious venture yet. I have four main characters for cultural reasons here. So far, there’s a small cast of secondary characters. I am adding them as needed.

RCMP violence against Inuit happening because few are stopping systemic racism, Indigenous leaders say

Some say over-criminalization continues when judges, prosecutors don't try to understand personal experiences

“Well, you know me. I usually like ‘em all #boss & #sass, but Xalapa . . . Xalapa is different. Serious. Focused. Hardworking. Medicine like I didn’t even know folks had,” Dawn drifted off, looking in the distance. “She’s gorgeous. Perfect. A goddess.” Dawn’s eyes teared up.
