I’m getting back into sharing more writing by pulling from the notes on my phone. The thoughts may or may not connect lol

The entire universe is permeable to our prayers and collective healing power. My uncle would say each mind is a universe. We can lean into the abundance we each carry especially when we feel pain and suffering are inescapable.

This is for my A1 day 1’s, never self-made, community made us. Stay blessed in kinship.

Our rooftop views were when we stood on suncracked shingles to catch a glimpse of the sunset, or look up at the stars that could pierce through the streetlights.

If each vertebrae were a prayer how much have I nursed my back to carry myself as a warrior and not another destroyer of the sacred bond that gave me life? From our film https://t.co/exGjbwJrYz

My maternal grandma would say “focus on the solutions and not the problems.” Ancestral wisdom is immense.

Thanks to @TomasKarmelo for capturing these powerful images of #NativeLove. Indigenous love should be celebrated. Indigenous love is traditional. Indigenous love brings healing.

Phoenix-based photographer @TomasKarmelo is mindful of honoring places and native people in his body of work. Here, he captures dancer Ty Lodgepole with #Hasselblad H System and HC 3,5/50 II Lens.

As the coronavirus spread on the Fort Apache reservation in Arizona, medical teams sought out residents who might have been exposed but didn’t know it. Their effort paid off in unexpected ways. https://t.co/2a4VqaqAlE

[The New York Times @nytimes]

The Apaches have been infected with the coronavirus at more than 10 times the rate of other people in Arizona. But their death rate from Covid-19 is far lower — 1.3%, as compared with 2.1% in the rest of the state. https://t.co/nBXKinswL4

Intensive contact tracing using an oximeter — an inexpensive device clipped to a finger that can detect dangerously low blood oxygen levels — has helped identify and treat gravely ill people before it was too late to save them. https://t.co/nBXKinswL4

[The New York Times @nytimes]

The reservation’s 30-member contact-tracing team includes doctors and members of the community who know the residents. The doctors would identify high-risk patients — those in grave danger from lack of oxygen — and take them to the hospital early. https://t.co/nBXKinswL4

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Sometimes, all it took to identify someone infected with the coronavirus before they got sick was a walk around the yard with an oximeter on. https://t.co/nBXKinswL4

BREAKING: Washington's NFL team announces official retirement of its racist name and logo, a fight Native activists have been leading for decades.

Its been a long journey and many sacrifices have been made. Rest in Power George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery & many others. #BlackLivesMatter! We still need justice for Breonna Taylor! Thank you #BLM for creating awareness, this means so much to Indigenous ppl!
