I’m a rodent, not a meteorologist. It’s Groundhog Day…again. It's still cold. #GroundhogDay

We mourn the tragic loss of Nex Benedict (Choctaw), a 16-year-old non-binary high school student who died after being brutally assaulted. This senseless act of violence serves as a poignant reminder of the ongoing dangers our 2SLGBTQIA+ relatives face. #justicefornex

Wow! What a night! We hosted our official campaign kick-off fundraiser last night and to say it was a success is an understatement. Thank you to everyone who came out. We’re fired up to win #TN7!!!

I had the privilege of learning a traditional Choctaw basket weaving pattern from Aliyah Myers, current Ms. Choctaw Nations of Oklahoma (you may have seen her in Marvel’s series Echo!) 🧺 Reed weaving is hard! Grateful for patient teachers. 🙏🏻🌻🧺

My friends know me too well 🙈 🗳️ 🐛

Had a blast at the Laos temple new year celebration 🎉 grateful for the leadership of my friends in their community, grateful for the blessings from the monks, dancing & delicious food 🍲🙏🏻✨🪷🐲

Tanasi - the Cherokee Nation Capitol from 1721-1730 - is the root of the current name for the state of Tennessee - forever connected to its rich Cherokee heritage. We visited many sites that have shaped our state’s history.

Congratulations to Hillsboro Hardware on 60 years in business! 🎉 Local businesses are the cornerstone of the US economy, and Hillsboro Hardware's enduring service to our community is a stellar example. Here's to 60 more! #ShopLocal

I truly would like to know. Which is it?

I 💙 graduations because I love celebrating my friends and students. Especially when they refuse to give up despite the odds & hardships life decides to present. So so so proud of Middle TN’s newest MSW! 🎓 our southeast Asian community members are so lucky to have you 🪽

I have made it one of my top priorities to help tell the story of the trauma of federal Indian boarding school policies with Indigenous voices front and center. On this National Day of Remembrance, we reaffirm our promise to let survivors' voices be heard. doi.gov/priorities/str…

Happy Indigenous Peoples Day! Just a reminder that Native Americans are not a historical people, that we are still here, and that the biggest injustice in U.S. history—the dispossession of land from Indigenous nations largely by fraudulent treaties—remains ongoing

Hand harvested South Dakota sage, a handmade wool blanket, a bandana blessed and embellished with beads… these gifts from Elders are priceless. Grateful for the privilege of another great pow wow weekend with my new and old friends and family 🙏🏻🤠🪶

Can you tell we are excited about our new weed wrenches? 🤩🔧🌱 many thanks to our friends at the Weed Wrangle and Innovations in Invasive Species Management Conference for the tools that will help us remove invasive species and plant more native species 🌻

🚨BREAKING🚨  Leonard Peltier Granted Executive Clemency After 50 years of unjust incarceration and the tireless efforts of intergenerational grassroots organizing and advocacy, our elder and relative Leonard Peltier has been granted executive clemency.

Okay, but be sure to run for POTUS next time out because the country needs governed by an Indigenous woman chief executive, not just one lucky state 👍🏽

“Today I am finally free! They may have imprisoned me but they never took my spirit!” said Leonard Peltier. Read more in press release: ndnco.cc/lpreleasedpr
