@christibelcourt @Ian_Mosby @Nehiyahskwew Thank you sister! ❤️

[Tara Kappo @Askiy]

@BeadSpiller This is glorious, to every detail. And the hibiscus! You can feel the love. Thank you for sharing this.

@PaulSeesequasis @tornadodoc @Soulparole Thanks for clarifying. I thought it was a terrible article to begin with and that makes me think it’s even worse than I thought.

[Tara Kappo @Askiy]

@tornadodoc @PaulSeesequasis @Soulparole And I’m curious here, too..are you claiming my to dad was an “assimilated” Native (and if so, what are you basing this on?) or do you believe the article painted him so?

[Tara Kappo @Askiy]

@PaulSeesequasis It’s curious. Aside from 1 short passage where he’s described as “a relative moderate in the Red Power structure”, I don’t see how my dad is presented here as a “good Indian”. I read this article the last time you posted it and again now, and I’m just not getting that image.

PSA: If you want to honour women, do not only invite women wearing ribbon skirts and act like the rest of us women here aren’t worth celebrating. Thanks!

[Tara Kappo @Askiy]

@UrbanInuk @BeadSpiller Yes! Count me in for some form of beadwork.

RT if you have ever *wanted* to move from a place but had to stay put because of prohibitive moving expenses

[Dara T. Mathis @TrulyTafakari]

RT if you live in a city/state where apartments or landlords charge you a month’s rent or more to move in

[Tara Kappo @Askiy]

@ZoeSTodd Yes! Gramma Tala is one of my all-time favourite characters. My inspiration for the kind of Kohkom I hope to be.

[Tara Kappo @Askiy]

@ElaineAlexie I wish! And yes, that would be great. Next year maybe? And wouldn't it be great, too, if we did something like that in YEG?

[Tara Kappo @Askiy]

@ElaineAlexie Looks awesome! Are you going?

And the gifts of my homeland are bountiful. Saskatoons yesterday, and today mint gathered lakeside.

So achingly beautiful to me. Even while the changes made me incredibly sad, my love of this place has not changed.
