This is so important. It's always been hard for me to describe my gender identity, as this isn't what we would've called it in my language, I'm not sure that we had a term as we inherently didn't view gender in a binary at all, everyone would have been "genderfluid" so to speak.

This is why I had to leave Academia. I will always be a wildly, Indigenous woman, and it is not possible to serve my people the way that I need to from within a colonial system or institution.

Decolonization is not a conference presentation, nor is it yet another article or book publication. It’s about dismantling everything that prevents us from living with dignity in our own lands.

I will preparing abstracts for special paper calls, to hopefully use my voice and advocacy to speak for Native people more. I do not have time to service both clinical training, and myself, or my people. I do not want to be forced again to choose.

@CDCgov shows continued upward trend in #suiciderates post-pandemic, with the sharpest impact continuing to fall on American Indians/Alaska Natives. I pray for a day when the first peoples' of this land/nation are able to choose to live in it, @TWLOHA

As an Indigenous clinician, I have casually observed that it is actually my international college students who are most accepting and receptive to my Indigeneity. Which leaves me feeling hopeful and honored to continue working with this population 🌿💓

I'm curious, NON-Natives what age were you when you found out the Beringia land theory (aka the Bering Strait Theory/Land Bridge Theory) was debunked & is an anti-Indigenous racist myth commonly used to denounce Indigenous people as the original inhabitants of this land?

I left home when I was a child, based on the dreams of my elders, and Tribal leaders. I hope, that I have made my community proud.

Setting my intentions this morning to continue being wholly me, in all that I am— I am not a commodity to be packaged for the pleasure and comfort of others. 🌿 I am full, and alive, constantly shifting shape from one season into the next. Spring feels good on my growth 🌾
