How can we create more equitable pathways for families to achieve social and economic mobility? I'm looking forward to sharing my ideas and hearing from other leaders at the Aspen Forum on Children and Families! #AFCF23 #AscendFellow

Reminds me of how in 2019 NASA finally “discovered” that human bodies are made from the same particles we see in stars yet the origins of the Lakota word for star literally mean “human flesh”. Natives were scientists before they even considered us human beings

I heard western science finally caught up to the fact that plains natives have connections to horses that are older than America. Spaniards sure as hell didn’t bring them here when we have stories about plains horse culture that predate colonial contact on this continent

A4: Social media can be used to disseminate information in #NativeandUrban communities, such as during the pandemic. Native-led clinics and organizations shared news about where to get the vaccine, food banks, housing resources, and more.

A2: I wish researchers knew how many #NativeAmericans live in urban areas. For example, in Colorado, we have about 4K who live within our two reservations and over 200K off the reservation, mostly in urban areas. #NativeAndUrban

Today is a difficult day for many of us. Take time to check on your friends and relatives, and be sure to give yourself time to grieve. The good work needs us, but only when we are ready. #mentalhealth #trauma #wellness #selfcare #onedayatatime #mentalhealthawareness

Indigenous students need Indigenous spaces. We need to spend time with just other Natives so we can talk and laugh and vibe. We need spaces where we can lean into joy. I am so lucky to have had an all-Indigenous space this weekend and it was everything.
