My cousin posted last night complaining about the NYC Mayor race results. One part caught my eye: "New York is in trouble! Muslim/Socialist as a mayor..." Not sure why he is concerned over the Muslim identity. Last I checked, Natives were slaughtered by Christians, not Muslims. 🤔

#MeskwakiNation #IndigenousPeoplesDay 🪶 🤍💛❤️🖤 Resilience & Determination - We're still here. youtu.be/Ue5RiWAFAjM?...

#NeverForget #IndigenousPeoplesDay Two types of people I think of today. Those who recognize and/or celebrate Indigenous People's Day, and those like Kristi Noem, who as Governor was banned from the Reservations in South Dakota, because she was a POS.

Attended the 109th annual Meskwaki Powwow this weekend. My soul has been recharged.

The fawns are coming out of hiding! 🙂

I saw this Canada/Mexico map today, and would like to offer a counter offer, as Canada & Mexico do not have a great track record with their Indigenous populations. #LandBack

New single released by The Dead Pioneers! Give them a listen. 🎵🎶🎵 youtu.be/P2R5NAjHu7o?...

Emily Pike’s dismembered remains were found in trash bags along a dirt road 18 days after she went missing. She was 14 years old, She was from San Carlos Indian Res. She'll never have a documentary on Netflix, she’ll never have a movie made about her. She never had nation wide media coverage. #MMIW

Reminder: Do Not Pet the Fluffy Cows! 😂

#IowaCity 'Stoodis Native American Students on the University of Iowa campus need our voices!

...and knowing is 1/2 the battle!

My cousin has designed these shirts and is bringing them back to raise money to donate to the ACLU. Only YOU can prevent Fascism! Crop top tee - www.thef2co.com/shop/p/anti-... Standard/Hvy Weight Tee - www.thef2co.com/shop/p/anti-...

Guess all us #Natives better pack it up and go back to where we came from. According to the Trump administration, "Indians" don't have citizenship. www.msn.com/en-us/news/o...

It’s been 10 years. Rita has been missing since January 16, 2015. Her family is in my thoughts today. #MMIW

Do you see what I see? 👁️ Post an emoji when you see it! 😀

Words of wisdom.

Visited my father yesterday. He gave this to my youngest son. ❤️

#Dakoata38plus2 Dec. 26, 1862, just 6 days before the Emancipation Proclamation, Lincoln ordered the largest mass execution in U.S. history. 38 Dakota men were hanged, with 2 more the following day. Overlooked in history books, we must remember & share this injustice to honor their memory.

This is true, I have my CDIB (Certificate, Degree of Indian Blood). 🙄

🤣 People remember two types of frybread, really good frybread and really bad frybread!

Rainbow Crow: The 🌈 Crow is a Native legend about a brave crow who sacrifices himself to help his animal friends. The 🌈 Crow is chosen to ask for help when his animal friends are threatened by a snowstorm. The Creator gives the crow 🔥, but the crow's 🪶s and voice are burned on the journey back to 🌎.

Wisdom to pass along. 🪶

These are Boline knives I made over the years for my partner in life. She is the photographer and did the pyrography on the handles. If you would like to see more of her work visit her page on IG - www.instagram.com/smokeyspells_/ #Boline #Witches #Pagan #Wiccan

Excited to share that the Dead Pioneers (Native/Punk Band) will be touring with Pearl Jam in 2025! Check out this video from one of their latest songs: "My Spirit Animal Ate Your Spirit Animal" #culturevultures youtu.be/ToVZHzw720I

Only 4-5 more months and Morel Season will be back in my area! Anyone else forage for these delicious delicacies? 🍄 #mushroom #Morel

The Dead Pioneers have a few catchy songs grounded in Punk. Bad Indian was my introduction to the band and it was a powerful message.

Awesome piece from powwowpopart. (Sosakete Perkins) You can see his other awesome designs at - www.powowpopart.com

Sarah is a talented Meskwaki artist and I always enjoy seeing her work! Consider giving her a follow and learn more about her!

Never know what you will find when you go out and explore.

A couple of other railroad spikes in various phases of becoming tomahawk heads.

A perspective on Thanksgiving that I like to share this time of year:

Johnnie Green (Che-Meuse) was my Great (x4) Grandfather. They have his memorial stone in Marshalltown, IA at the Veterans cemetery.

My Grandmother (Koko) and Auntie at the Meskwaki Powwow in the '80s.

I almost have this project done. This turned out pretty well. Etched the metal with my sand blaster then used gun bluing. Just need to finish the handle! Another rust to art project.
