I need you guys to know that me and friends just had a conversation where we counted all the escalators in Montana. I’m dying that we can name all the escalators in an entire state.

Love a school bus. Love Jason Isbell . Love National Hot Dog Day.

Michael Kordenbrock said he’d cancel me if I didn’t give him photo credit.

We love hearing this exciting news! Congrats to you, Musuk Nolte & Tailyr. 🙌 Plus all of the mentorship recipients too!

Ya’ll I got the $20k Vital Impacts Environmental Photography Grant!

With this funding I get to live the dream and spend a year photographing buffalo, my tribe and my homeland.

I feel so grateful that I get to tell these stories. It feels unreal. Thank you @VitalImpacts.

I accidentally formatted a card I needed, one time, 6 years ago and now every single time I clear a card I have a mini panic attack. Make it stop, pls.

After three long years, my exhibition Reservation Mathematics is up in the Smithsonian and ya girl is emotional. Thank you National Museum of the American Indian and to my family and to every person that lets me share their stories. Eternally grateful this is the work I get to do. It feels unreal.

First morning back in Montana after a couple weeks and when I yawned this morning my lip split in two places. It’s cold and dry here. You don’t want to move here. It hurts.

Lol at everyone I just met at the Nat Geo seminar who followed me on instagram thinking they’d get my professional work and instead they see that I just posted 10 pictures of my nephew this morning. X̣est Chkʷultn to my baby boy. I can’t believe how fast 12 years have gone by.

Uncover the told and untold history of how Indigenous peoples are depicted in media, addressing stereotypes, building better understanding, ethics and trust and telling more complete and nuanced stories with Tailyr Jade Begay Alejandra Rubio #NPPA ow.ly/Yi5b50LOa7K

Always on that 🦬 beat.

During oral arguments, in #Brackeen Alito argued that tribes don’t share a common political interest, because we were all at war with each other before Europeans arrived.

Racist stereotypes about Native people sadly factor into how the justices see the case.

When my youngest was nine months old, he was in the cruising stage of learning to walk. He fell and hit his head. We’d baby proofed the house and had his cruising contained in a very small area. We took him to the ER and before they even examined him, they filed a CPS report.

This simply can’t be the same body that used to go work in an office, spend 2 hours per day in the gym, make home cooked meals regularly, flirted with new men every week AND spent most weekends partying somewhere. It simply can’t be.

It’s 9am in the morning and I am sitting in my rental car eating a whole tub of crab with my bare hands. I bought way too much yesterday and now I have to eat it ALL before my flight.

I was arrested for graffiti at the age of 16, and sentenced to live in a county boy’s home until I turned 18. Sterlin and the Reservation Dogs team let me write about it from the perspective of the lil homey, Cheese. This one’s for all the little shitasses who never stood a chance.

Congress passed the Code of Indian Offenses in 1883, outlawing all Native dances & ceremonies (with severe punishments for violations). It would take until this day in 1978 -- 44 years ago -- for Congress to pass the American Indian Religious Freedom Act. BUT -- 1/2

'In his head he heard music, the eerie melody of a song by a Russian electronic band he’d listened to while preparing for the race. It made him feel close to death.'

Powwows are back baybee! The summer vibes of the powwow on my reservation. Pure Native joy is rarely on display and here it is on the cover of the style section of The New York Times. This work makes me so happy.
