Auntie Deb most certainly has blankets on every piece of government furniture in her office, hand sewed a beautiful gift for me and gives the best advice 💕
This weekend, @AsstSecNewland and I held our 4th and 5th events on The Road to Healing, a year long effort to create space for survivors of federal Indian boarding schools to share their experiences.
On this day in 1890, nearly 300 Lakota people were slaughtered at Wounded Knee, S.D. by U.S. Army soldiers. I wept with descendants of that massacre at the Wounded Knee Memorial this past year. Our work to build a better future starts with acknowledging our tragic history.
We must speak out against the explicitly anti-Black, white supremacist shooting, that occurred in Buffalo & confront the racist & dangerous ideology that impacts people of color. Our hearts & prayers are with those who continue to experience violence & racism. #BuffaloMassacre
