🧡 On #OrangeShirtDay, we honor survivors of residential schools in Canada and Federal Indian Boarding Schools in the U.S. These institutions stole children, languages & cultures. We fight for truth, justice & healing. #ChildrenBack

Abortion = choice.
Adoption ≠ substitute.

Too many Native mothers are pressured into adoption when what they really need is support to parent. The opposite of abortion is supported parenting. Ethical adoption means removing barriers to parenting, not giving up children. #ICWA

📱Feeling heavy from the scroll? You’re not alone. The world is hurting—but so are we healing.
It’s okay to feel overwhelmed. But even in the chaos, we can choose to pause. To breathe. To send love. Healing doesn’t have to be loud to be powerful. #ShareHealing

[Association on American Indian Affairs @IndianAffairs]

In a world that often feels like chaos, there is strength in turning to collective prayer, kind thoughts, or positive intentions. ✨ Together, we create greater compassion, empathy, & connection. When we #ShareHealing, we’re not only nurturing others—we’re nurturing ourselves.
