Calling Our Spirits Forward

06/03/2026

When our men are supported, our families and communities are stronger. Healing happens through connection, culture, community, and belonging.

You don't have to carry life's challenges alone. Our Indigenous men need support too. Reach out to a trusted relative, friend, elder, healthcare provider, or community resource. You can also send us a DM. We are here to help connect you with support and resources.

Throughout June, we’ll be sharing resources and information to support the health and well-being, our Indigneous men, families, and communities.

Honoring Martin Luther King Jr. & his powerful reminder that health is a matter of justice, dignity, and humanity.

For our Indigenous communities, this truth is lived every day. Access to care, culturally based healing, and systems that respect our people are not privileges, they are necessities! When health care fails to see our full humanity, the harm is felt across generations.

COSF remains committed to community-led wellness, cultural knowledge, and pathways to care that honor who we are & where we come from. MLK's work did not end with him, & neither does ours! We carry this work forward not just today, but every day. ✊🏾🪶

Happy New Year! It’s the first week of the year, & we’re setting intentions together. If you haven’t yet, it’s not too late to begin. What are your goals for 2026?

A few goals to consider setting:
✔️One professional goal — grow in your work, learn a new skill, or move toward purpose-driven work.
✔️ One personal goal — care for your well-being, make space for rest, stay present, or lean into what brings balance.
✔️ One family & community goal — show up for relatives, spend more time with Elders, practice culture in everyday ways, and stay connected to community and land.

Speak these goals into existence and carry them into the year with care. Comment & Share your goals w/ us! 😉

May 2026 bring good health, love, & meaningful work to all our relatives.

Kicking off Native American Heritage Month with some good medicine - this beautiful Cheyenne song shared by Isiah & James Walksalong at our Cultural Wellness & Art Gathering last month. 🪶 May this bring warmth, focus, and good energy to your day, your week, and the month ahead as we honor and celebrate our rich culture, history, traditions, and accomplishments of our Native relatives.

Yesterday’s Cultural Wellness & Art Gathering brought together 66 relatives — youth, adults, young families, Elders, and our Two-Spirit community. We laughed, created, sang, and shared stories that remind us who we are as a community.

Our Honored Elders from the Heritage Living Center showed up strong, filling the space with warmth, laughter, and stories. One even took home a prize for being the “Eldest Elder” — we love our Elders. 🥰

This gathering happened on Indigenous Peoples’ Day, now officially recognized as a state holiday in Montana — and that’s a big deal. It took years of work, heart, and persistence from Marsha Small and others who made sure our people and history are recognized. That means a lot.

We had both traditional and contemporary music — a Cheyenne honor song opened the event, followed by eight cover songs throughout the day, and we closed with multiple round dance songs, with everyone still going strong! Huge thank you to Isiah Walksalong, James Walksalong, Lakeema Williams, and Burton Tallwhiteman for sharing their voices and energy.

Appreciation to our community volunteers — Angel Real Bird, Misty Kellum, Diane Spotted Elk, Shawna Wooden Legs, Dewanda Little Coyote, LaRena LittleLoyoe, Deemya Little Coyote, Sue Shotgunn, and Salley King from Lame Deer High School, who opened the commons area for us and shared her support for community and public health efforts.

Thank you to everyone who came, helped, sang, danced, and brought that good energy. It was a day of culture, healing, and joy — exactly what it needed to be.
