Rant of my dumb choices #128: Take a 6 week summer stats after not taking math courses for a 100 yrs 😭 to learn a concept for 10 mins and take an exam on it shortly after. 🤯
Friends, my TED Talk is out now. Hope you'll tune in & hear a bit more about why we've got to prioritize frontline leadership as we take on the #ClimateCrisis! https://t.co/5DVKkuh0E0
I received a series of rejections this week. It hurts, i won’t deny it. When I started to internalize them, I called one of my bros and he helped me remember that I’m so much more than any opportunity or accomplishment. In short it’s okay to let your folks know when youre down ❤️
Me: Well, I'm off to do my homework.
Son casually says: I'm proud of you for getting your education.
Out of nowhere.
❤😭 his words of encouragement gave me life.
When you talk about Natives in a past tense, you are actively erasing us. We are modern people, living modern lives. We deserve to be acknowledged and spoken about properly
Happy Native American Heritage Month this is a reminder that Native people are not extinct! We are people recovering from genocide and are still fighting for recognition, rights, our lands, and for the well-being of Earth. Do not talk about us as past people. We are still here
Happy Native American Heritage Month this is a reminder that pre-contact Native people were not ‘primitive savages.’ Our people were advanced & intelligent with societies, governments, architecture, & practiced astronomy, science, and medicine. Our ways have influenced life today
Just so all y'all are crystal fucking clear. Tribes did not "relocate". They were forcibly removed. Many were killed, physically dragged out of their homes, and much worse. Was *everyone* removed? No. Are folks still there? YES
Land & homes were lost, however culture was not.
Thank you Willie for your WW II service. Wilford "Willie" George, a member of the Lemhi Shoshone Tribe, was awarded the Bronze Star for saving the lives of 1000's of men on the USS Tulagi.
“This is about so much more than decoration. Eagle feathers and regalia are culturally and spiritually significant for Native Americans; they are worn to honor the importance of an occasion and recognize students’ academic achievement." | @IndianCountry | https://t.co/1thq3dYtQN
