When I hear of the giver of breath this is how I see him. A wise elder, his head bowed in contemplation, four strands of smoke leaving his pipe. His shirt like foliage, his scarf like water.

The #Mvskoke word for mosquito is Okyeha

One of my beaded necklaces I made. Technically, I think this is a #chickasaw style necklace.

I am chickasaw through my ancestor Jennie Irwin. We have her original allotment papers. However, I wasn't raised much in the culture, so I tend not to claim it.

The muscogee tribe didn't call the land turtle island, but I love the name.

#milkweed known as #Hvtkē-kafkv in #mvskoke provides important help to native #butterflies I also think it's a really pretty plant.

Just a PSA to #newage or #spiritual

The #muscogee tribe didn't use #whitesage but I can still stand up for the tribe it was stolen from and the people being mistreated through its harvest. #smudging with commercial white sage is not good for you, the environment, or tribal communities. So stop.
