ReHuman School: 🌍 In ReHuman Men’s Healing Circles, participants gather to express their thoughts and experiences in a nonjudgmental space. 🪶 Often using a “talking piece,” each person will have a chance to share without interruption, although sharing is not required.

🏕️Mutual Aid Request🏕️ Jacob is a youth going on his first camping trip July 15-18, 2026. His mom is a single mom struggling to afford his camping supplies. Here is his wishlist if anyone feels moved to help a young boy enjoy his summer. www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

My Choctaw corn husk doll is enjoying the two rose quartz spheres I ordered from prettygoods. They catch the light so beautifully and match the peaceful vibe of my home. They arrived carefully packaged with a handwritten thank you note and two extra crystals. I will definitely order again.

Hʋshi for Pîsim You are one of one. The fire in you crackles with every step you take, Where you walk is sacred ground, Not with piety that excludes But because where you are everyone is included. You face life open-hearted, eyes wide open, Jumping into the unknown,

Take my breath away.

Choctaw Nation is sponsoring a drone show at the Tʋshka Homma Capitol Grounds for Independence Day. Choosing drones over fireworks is a wise, considerate choice after the tragedy that occurred last year. I respect that.

Fireworks in Idabel. No, I don’t celebrate Independence Day. Natives were not part of the plan for freedom. The Declaration of Independence called us “merciless Indian savages.” But I do like fireworks. Maybe I should run a fireworks stand.

Wow! I just saw Obsessed at the movie theater in Paris, TX. My thoughts about the movie have already been adequately expressed by @kylark on Threads. To put it bluntly: Bear is the villain in the story, not Nikki.

People on the autism spectrum can absolutely be manipulative, just like anyone else. Neurodivergence explains how someone processes the world, but it does not dictate their moral character, personality, or capacity for toxic behavior.

Out Beyond Ideas of Wrongdoing and Rightdoing Rumi Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, There is a field. I'll meet you there. When the soul lies down in that grass, The world is too full to talk about. Ideas, language, even the phrase each other Doesn't make any sense.

Check out Steven Ray Byrd in Coyote vs Acme this fall! In the meantime, you can catch him as this fingerboxing extraordinaire on TikTok under the name Laughtermedic.

If I was teaching the Choctaw language, I would put together language-centered community events. For example: Choctaw language bingo. Choctaw language pictionary games. Choctaw language scavenger hunts. Choctaw language escape rooms. Choctaw language storytelling nights.

The Summer Day Mary Oliver Who made the world? Who made the swan, and the black bear? Who made the grasshopper? This grasshopper, I mean— the one who has flung herself out of the grass, the one who is eating sugar out of my hand, who is moving her jaws back and forth instead of up and down—

If you’re fatphobic, you’re not gonna like me very much. I promise.

The participants of the Choctaw Language Class at the Choctaw Community Center in Wright City are very involved with their learning and it is paying off. Tonight they created full sentences. Class is every Monday from 5pm—7pm.

Missing both A̱ki and Sʋshki this Fatherʼs Day.

My older brother, Lance Williston, was killed when a drunk driver hit the vehicle driven by our mom. He was only five years old. June 19 is his birthday. I never got to meet him but witnessed the enduring grief my parents felt for him for the rest of their lives.

This is me reading my poem “Pastoral Pining” during an Open Mic Night at the Wildlife Heritage Museum in Antlers, OK.

As we celebrate Freedom through the holiday of Juneteenth, let us examine, and celebrate how and when Freedom came to Indian Territory. None of the three gestures of freedom or emancipation in the US affected the enslaved people in the Five Nations. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

For me, Juneteenth is a call to action. I am reading I've Been Here All the While by Dr. Alaina E. Roberts to better understand my lineage as a descendant of Choctaw slaveholders.

Tabetha Prock is advocating for Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma to change its policy to recognize same-sex marriages for employee health benefit eligibility.

Hapononka' is open to the public and invites everyone to come and share traditional, personal or imaginative stories while building meaningful social connections at sessions. The next session is Saturday, June 27, 6 p.m. at the Chokma'si Gallery in Ada, Oklahoma.

Today I’m going to vote to raise the minimum wage in Oklahoma for the 200,000 children whose lives will be blessed if S.Q. 832 passes.

My grandpa was Tobias Williston. His mother’s maiden name was Louisa Juzan. I am a direct descendant of the Juzan family—French people who married Choctaw people. These French-Choctaw fur traders and agriculturists participated in chattel slavery.

No more stifling Choctaw (Chahta) words like hatukiklanna and hatakholba to keep from offending Choctaw (Chahta) people who are Christian. Let them be homophobic in English.

Before colonization the Choctaw (Chahta) people had a broader understanding of gender variance.

One of the roles I fulfill in community is to be a safe space for survivors. That is where I am gifted, educated, and skilled. Another person might be one who is able to be a safe space for the person who committed the harm while holding them accountable and walking beside them as they learn, grow,

Before colonization, being part of Chahta community meant people had roles. Since we are at the revitalization stage of culture it often feels like we expect ourselves—and often each other—to try to embody all of the roles in our culture.

If you weren’t there when I wanted to end it all you don’t get to tell me how to live this life you did nothing to help save.

I don't belong here, we gotta move on, dear Escape from this afterlife 'Cause this time, I'm right To move on and on Far away from here

The idea that you do not speak ill of the dead is an abusive one because abusers die too. When they die that’s often the first time the survivor feels safe to say anything. Survivors own their story and have a right to tell it.
