The word “Indian” is inextricably tied to these stereotypes in the minds of many people even today. It is an outdated term that must be tucked away in favor of a more proper term. The Tongva people inhabited the Pomona Valley before the Spaniards arrived, and thus, would be paying homage to the ...

Grateful for rest, learning and stillness practice during at parents home in East Lansing, Michigan -- Anishinabeg, Odawa and Ojibwe land. Been learning more about parents' and ancestral spiritual practices, language and food. We're planting veggies from seedlings shared amongst neighbors and enjoying seemingly simple, "small" things like the patterns of the birds chirping (this area used to be a bird sanctuary) and the frogs' evening bubble-throated croaking chorus in the marsh across the street. Also, a giant talking parrot lives next door! 🐸🦆🦜 Heartfelt gratitude to Mom (pic 1) for life, so much support and sharing in this prayer.
We are united with all those that (more details below), sending prayers and taking action to ensure their lands are preserved and far more attention, care and resources are brought to native lands, Black, poor, POC, LGBTQ and other communities that are disproportionally harmed by the virus.

Leave a 🔥 in the comments if you : 🌎🌎 On May 7th, a federal judge will hear the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe’s bid to preserve its land in trust May 7 via teleconference. In the middle of a pandemic, the Trump Administration has moved to disestablish their tribe and lands based on a ambiguous legal technicality. We have lit our sacred fires today, all across the country, as a way of saying we and reject this move to take away their lands. 🌎🌎 Common sense and simple morality should grant this tiny piece of land to the Mashpee Wampanoag, the same nation that saved the pilgrims when they were sick and starving. We of many races and creeds cannot allow this nonsense to go on any further without making some noise and standing to defend. 🔥🔥Sign the petition, light your candle/smudge/fire, and write your senators! Please take five minutes to do these things by going to www.dw-webinars.com/act (in bio) 🙏🏽🙏🏽 @ East Lansing, Michigan

A restful and nurturing full moon, all! Photos from a few days ago, 4/4/4, Feeling love and life! Biking, sun, Earth rest, self compassion exercises. Laughter on the trail. Resting mind in nature. Observing. Listening. Sun gazing. Seeing the sky and moon so clearly. I've never been able to capture so many details of the moon via phone. Imagining our ancestors and wondering how they may be able to learn and know so much about the cosmos. Given the increase in what we're able to see and hear in these clear times, they may have essentially been able to directly see what we simply cannot due to the effects of climate change and evolutionary changes to our sight & bodies over the millennia.

Wishing all much rest, balance and peace during this transition period as Mother Earth renews. Especially those that may be ill or lost loved ones, elders, those that may be without stable shelter/housing, or experiencing instability or uncertainty of any kind due to the lockdown. Just now getting to take a closer look at and for support. We're all in this together and I'm grateful to receive encouraging messages and meditations (i.e. .rosalesmeza ) letting us know it's ok to feel deeply and erratically during this unprecedented time as we adjust to a slower, hopefully kinder, pace of life that is far more equal and better for our ecological and social well-being. 🕊♥️🙏🏾🌻🎶
