@cafedujord Your basically describing a room full of angry people that have no concept of what it means to be homeless or why being housed can make a world of difference in someone’s life. There is no single solution, ever case and circumstance is unique. #PublicHealth#unhoused#healing
I had a dream last night where my elder Louis David Valenzuela the Yaqui Carver (https://t.co/etJI0KM527) told me it was time to make my own Maso Puusim (Yaqui word)/Ojo de Venado(Spanish word)/Velvet Bean or Cowhage (English word), so here it is. @pytribe
Incredible event at @DCHistory with author @ERuleDC speaking on her new book,”Indigenous DC,” about the District as the political capital of Indian Country and DC’s indigenous future, moderated by @Pdineclah. Super informative and inspiring. Can’t wait to read!

Personal opinions aside. There is 1 take away that I can highlight. I will no longer refer to my tribal heritage of @pytribe by their official name just Yoeme. I don't want to undermine or be mistaken as representing them in any way @alitheia1491 @indianz@CSUSM@IndianCountry
Seeing open-source tribal data is rare! This is a step in the right direction so that Native Americans are no longer an asterisk at the bottom of a report. Thank you, @srm_tribe for being a leader in this Public Health arena. #epidemiology#publichealthmatters#nativeamericans
It’s that time of the year again friends! This is especially directed to my Native American family, let your voice be heard! #vote2022 https://t.co/6Q98uB5pVp
