@msreidenglish @RodRobinsonRVA @msreidenglish I"m reading the book we discussed, There There! Tommy Orange comes next week. It's powerful and settles in my bones. I'll suggest a few other authors but I think it's a good discussion to consider reading There There.

@msreidenglish How did this go? I would have gone had I known. We do a Teach In and Indigenous Peoples Day event @SmithsonianNMAI. This year it will be September 7!

Connecting the dots explicitly between the resulting "King Cotton" and the enslavement of millions of people with the ethnic cleansing (aka forced removal) of Native peoples to clear the land. #NTOY19 Teachers made some powerful connections.

We’re back at the White House this morning! The 2019 TOYs started day #2 with self guided tours to learn more about the history of the historic residence.

Wow. Everyone should take a few minutes to read Rodney Robinson’s application for National Teacher of the Year. I am so proud to celebrate and honor Rodney, his message, and his students in DC this week! #ntoy19 https://t.co/Y5dR4aQxXW

@NayelivsShark @Givepieachance @debreese Please share!

[Née-Née @ReneeGokey]

@Givepieachance @debreese Please share this information. It's apparent to me that they have the power and privilege to get a publicist and everything to protect their image. We Native People need all of our allies to help speak the truth here. This kid's smile is clearly a smirk and he was disrespectful.
