Awesome to see an entire chapter on "Native American Dance and Engaged Resistance" in this brand new dance history textbook, Milestones in Dance in the USA! I am honored that my small contribution to hoop dance is noted in the dance timeline of our nation!!

Fantastic story about our partnership with @BalletArizona to offer hoop dance 🌐 classes for Native youth in Phx! Its amazing to watch a program I helped create (now in its 3rd year) take on a life of its own and so rewarding to help youth stay connected to their Native heritage.
Thank you to @Adrian_Fontes for traveling the distance to meet Arizona tribal communities! Let’s make him our next Secretary of State!!! Early voting starts today! 🗳

Considering how often Native peoples are simply erased in pop culture, in media and in what we are taught in K-12 education, this feels like a milestone.

Yesterday in my announcement 4 Navajo president, I called on the NN to lift restrictions so our businesses can fully reopen, Navajos can go back 2 work. Communities all around us already have. Today, NN raised the capacity limit 4 businesses to 75%, a step in the right direction.
Facts tho: Arizona is home to the most Native-populated districts in the U.S.
Investing in our communities–early & often–is a smart move.
We know the gaps in reaching our voters, that's why we organize year round & do what we can to overcome the obstacles we face. #nativevote
Thanks to everyone who stepped up to help get Democratic candidates on the ballot!
Now, we continue strengthening voter education efforts, recruit more, register voters, and get folks ready for the primary. #Midterms2022
