I think Girl Scouts is really cool- the other week my daughter & the troop learned how to cut tomatoes and make turkey sandwiches— these are lifetime skills! The troop did a fantastic job with cookie sales this year working together and goal setting. Not sure why I felt I needed to share all this- 🌻

The Red Power movement already claimed these abandoned federal lands in 1969 (I’m aware of the nuance of this as California Indian land)

I just finished reading Lily Tuzroyluke’s Sivulliq: Ancestor, a historical fiction about whaling and the smallpox epidemic in the Alaskan Arctic. This gripping book shows how lives intersect between an Inupiat mother, a Black man working as a whaler, a mostly white crew & captain, & missionaries.

This is such an important book that displays Cold War era politics, nuclear testing, &Indigenous activism with Inupiat from Point Hope protesting detonation of a manmade harbor. The US still contaminated the land bringing waste from a Nevada test site to northern Alaska. It poisoned the land &people

If you aren't keeping up with the Iditarod this year, here is a good reason to: Four mushers are Alaskan Native: Kevin Hansen, Inupiaq; Ryan Redington, Inupiaq; Kaiser, Yup’ik; and Jody Potts-Joseph. Another, Jesse Terry, Anishinabe, is Indigenous from Canada. #Uglydogs ictnews.org/news/iditaro...

Not me tearing up at the archives looking through a box and among the folders there is one with a wedding announcement from the guy and his wife in 1925- how romantic and loving that he saved this with his other documents 🥹❤️ #amresearching #archives
