When Our Aunties Pass

Dedicated to my auntie, (Image from the 90's, how I will always remember her. She was 70 when she passed) I can't explain what it's like to lose pillars of your life.

White-Passing Natives

The following slides are from an Instagram post about white-passing Natives and specific behaviors. Those behaviors are based on white supremacy works. The comments were a mixture of education, lived experience, and valid criticism. Someone suggested the tone of post was angry. And yes, I am angry when I see white-passing Natives who act in white supremacist behaviors, including being the only face of an Indigenous organization. https://www.instagram.com/p/DZvpPyIGVzw/?utm_so

What does "decolonize" mean?

What is "decolonize" even mean!? I am not an expert on decolonization anything. There are many great definitions or interpretations out there. I am always learning from all decolonization perspectives. Hopefully, the list below peaks your interest enough to begin your own journey. In this blog post, I will highlight some of the "decolonization" readings that really opened my eyes to what it means to decolonize. The Unravelling of a Colonized Mind by Jana-Rae Yerxa Read here:.

The EZLN (Zapatista National Liberation Army) launched an armed uprising on January 1, 1994, in Chiapas, Mexico after hundreds of years of exploitation, poverty, and lack of political autonomy for indigenous communities in the region. Indigenous women not only faced harsh economic conditions, they struggled against
patriarchal oppression.

Comrade Yuly from the Zapatista Sixth Commission talks about patriarchal domination in the relationship between landowners and women and the fight against the capitalist system at the "Seedbed- War Against Humanity Gathering" in San Cristóbal de Las Casas, Chiapas, Mexico.

BREAKING: A federal judge has just ordered Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche to hand over the unredacted Epstein Files emails and documents for the court’s private review in MeidasTouch host Katie Phang’s lawsuit.

In a new order, U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan directed the Justice Department to produce the unredacted records in camera (for the judge’s eyes only) by July 30, along with documentation backing up DOJ’s claims that the names and other information it blacked out are, in fact, the categories of people it says they are.

That’s significant because the court isn’t simply accepting the government’s representations at face value. Judge Sullivan is requiring the DOJ to prove its redactions are justified by reviewing the underlying records himself. In other words—they don’t believe what the DOJ is selling!!

Katie Phang said that while the judge denied her request to be present during the in-chambers review, she said it was “worth the ask.”

This is another important step in the legal battle over the Epstein Files and whether the Justice Department has properly withheld information from the public.

Thank you, Katie!

A Human Rights advocate & member of Indigenous council (CIPOG-EZ) has been falsely imprisoned inside of the state of Guerrero, Mexico. The National Indigenous Congress (CNI) is asking for Indigenous organizations worldwide to call for Jesus Placido’s immediate release after he was arrested, without evidence, on July 17th, 2026. "He is a social activist, a defender of the people. He is not a criminal," his mother, Enedina, explains in a released statement. #DefendTheSacred

Human Rights Advocate & Member of Indigenous Council (CIPOG-EZ) Falsely Imprisoned in #Mexico

The National Indigenous Congress (CNI) is asking for Indigenous organizations worldwide to call for Jesus Placido's immediate release after he was arrested, without evidence, on July 17th, 2026

The Mexican Government has previously recognized Jesus Placido as a defender of Human Rights.
Since 2021, he has been integrated into the Protection Mechanism for Human Rights Defenders and Journalists of the Federal Secretariat of the Interior.
This protection was put in place after proving his life was in danger because of his advocacy for Indigenous communities in the face of extraction and organized crime.

The Na Savi, Me'pháá, Nahua, and Namnkué Peoples of Guerrero form the Guerrero Council (CIPOG-EZ)
As a council member, Jesus Placido has spoken up against extractive industries displacing Indigenous communities who are living in the mountain regions of Guerrero.
These communities have recently experienced deadly attacks from organized crime, which council members & Indigenous Rights Lawyers suspect are motivated to kick people out of their ancestral homes in order to exploit their lands.

Tribal Nations are sovereign governments with an inherent right to govern themselves, their citizens, and their territories.
For more than 200 years, the Supreme Court has affirmed Tribal sovereignty and the authority of Tribal Nations to care for their citizens. That includes creating laws, operating courts, and supporting Native children and families through culturally grounded systems of care.
When Tribal governments exercise their authority and resources to lead their communities, Native children, families, and future generations are stronger.
Protecting ICWA means respecting Tribal sovereignty and the oldest sovereign
governments in North America.

1.
Many Indigenous communities are evacuating to cities and towns that are especially racist & hostile towards them. I can't imagine how much this compounds the trauma of fleeing and losing your home. Please show up with care & humility for calls to action & mutual aid efforts, it's the least we can do.
Just look at the comments in neighborhood groups & social media posts about evacuees. It's harrowing & shameful.

2.
I want us to stop saying "no one is doing anything" and "no one cares". Its true that the political elites aren't intervening, but saying that fosters apathy & the inevitability of our suffering. Most importantly it dismisses the ordinary & organized resistance of people living this crisis.
This "wildfire season" like every year, it's been Indigenous people organizing evacuations, care packages, food & shelter, activities & support, gatherings & connections.
Our elected politicians may be doing next to nothing but I've seen so many Anishinaabe people, especially women, immediately respond to the needs of their community. Even the children are mobilizing. Like Chance Paavola, a teenager from Namaygoosisagagun First Nation who rescued people from the wildfires in his boat.
This is true of every catastrophe, from Khartoum to Kanesatake, we keep us safe.

Not every Native Nation lived in a tipi. From Mandan-Hidatsa earth lodges to Haudenosaunee longhouses, Pueblo adobe homes, Dine Hogans, Inuit igloos, and Mississippian houses at Cahokia, Indigenous peoples built architecture tuned to their homelands-not Hollywood stereotypes.

Residential school denialism continued to be a hot topic at this year's Assembly of First Nations annual general meeting in Ottawa.
