🚨 ICE is a threat to Native sovereignty 🚨

American Indians are being harassed, racially profiled, detained, and questioned by ICE simply for existing in our own homelands. Our communities have lived on these lands since time immemorial, yet we continue to be treated as if we don’t belong.

🚫🧊This isn’t just an immigration issue. It’s an Indigenous issue🚫🧊

The violence of ICE reaches Native communities on both sides of the colonial border, separating families, and continuing a long history of state violence against our Nations.

It’s time to abolish ICE and build systems that respect the dignity, sovereignty, and humanity of all Indigenous peoples and animals across Turtle Island 🌎🦬

Stand with our relatives. Protect our communities ✊🏽🦬

🚨 HANDS OFF OUR MEDICINES🚨

Tell the DEA: HANDS OFF OUR TRADITIONS!🌵🪶

The proposed bulk manufacture of mescaline may be framed as pharmaceutical research, but for Indigenous peoples this raises deep concerns. As commercial interest in mescaline grows, the pressure surrounding Pe**te, our sacred medicine and relative, continues to grow as well. Pe**te is already threatened by habitat loss, overharvesting, and generations of colonial interference.

OUR MEDICINES ARE NOT COMMODITIES. They are carried through ceremony, prayer, and responsibility. Decisions that affect them must honor Indigenous voices and Indigenous sovereignty.

📢 Scan the QR code, submit your comment, and tell the DEA to respect our sacred traditions.

🤎 Please SHARE this post and help protect Pe**te for the generations yet to come. **te

The best way to honor our ancestors is to invest in our children 🦬

✏️We invite all Native families to come celebrate with us, connect with community, and receive school supplies while they last✏️

If you’re in a position to give, we ask you to help carry this work. Donate backpacks, school supplies, or make a monetary contribution so we can reach even more families. Every gift, no matter the size, helps lift up the next generation.

When we care for our children, we strengthen our nations.

“Somebody being killed by law enforcement is a big goddamn deal. What other profession has the power to take a life in the middle of the street?” -Christian Menefee

Yesterday, following the fatal shooting of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a husband, father of three, and Mexicano, another sacred fire was dimmed before its time. We lift prayers for his family, his ancestors, his descendants, and all who now carry this grief.

As an intertribal organization, Sacred Return remembers what the maps of empire try to erase: our relatives from the South are not strangers to these lands. Their ancestors walked these mountains, deserts, rivers, and valleys long before borders were carved into the Earth. They are descendants of the original peoples of this continent, keepers of language, ceremony, corn, fire, water, and memory.

The Earth does not recognize borders. The buffalo did not ask permission to roam. The salmon do not carry passports. The birds are not detained in flight. Migration is older than every nation and state; it is a law written by the Creator into the fabric of life itself.

When Indigenous people are hunted, profiled, or killed because a colonial government has declared them “illegal,” we must ask ourselves: illegal according to whom? How can those whose blood has flowed through these lands since time immemorial be made illegal upon the homelands of their ancestors?

This is not only a Latino issue. It is an Indigenous issue. It is a human issue. The violence inflicted upon our relatives from the South echoes the same systems that have displaced, criminalized, and attempted to erase Indigenous peoples across Turtle Island for generations.

As an organization co-founded by a first-generation American of Mexican Indigenous heritage, we stand beside our relatives of the South. We pray for justice rooted in humanity, for dignity over fear, and for a future where no family must mourn because of hatred, racism, or policies that deny the sacredness of human life.

❗️No one is illegal on stolen land ❗️

May we remember that every person carries a sacred fire. Every family is a prayer. Every life is a gift entrusted to us by the Creator.

For our ancestors. For our descendants. For all our relations.

🌽Help Us Invest in Our Future Ancestors 🌽

At Sacred Return, we believe our youth are our Mōztla Huehuetiliztli, our Future Ancestors. We’re raising $1,500 to launch our Mōztla Huehuetiliztli Youth Leadership Pathway through a youth run Piccadilly stand.

This is about so much more than selling snow cones and pickles. It’s about teaching Native youth entrepreneurship, leadership, teamwork, financial responsibility, and the confidence to create opportunities for themselves while giving back to their community.

Every donation helps purchase the equipment and supplies needed to get started, and every dollar our youth earn will be reinvested into future youth programming.

If you’re able, please consider donating. If you can’t give today, sharing our fundraiser is another powerful way to support our Future Ancestors.

🦬 Together, we’re planting seeds for the next seven generations 🦬

At Sacred Return Indigenous Restoration Initiative, we believe that our youth are the M… Esther TallBull needs your support for Invest in Our Future Ancestors
