On Jan. 2nd, my cousin-brother and his family lost their home to a fire. The cause of the fire is still unknown. Thankfully he had fire resistant interior that helped minimize the damage, but they’ve lost a lot of their possessions to the fire. Their home also suffered from smoke damage. I’m grateful that they all made it out of the house safely but a few of them had to go to the ER for smoke inhalation and pain caused from being thrown/jumping out of their windows.

I’ve included screenshots of our family group chat and a picture of what he’s done so far for fixing their home.

Some of the things they’ve lost in the fire was majority of their powwow regalia. His family is well known in the powwow community here in Arizona and have performed for some politicians, entertainers, and even huge events in AZ. His entire family dances, including his little ones. I’ll included their pictures.

Anything helps and even sharing will help them out in anyway. As a family, we are coming together to help with the cost to fix their home.

The first time Cayde has been accepted for who he is, not who he used to be.

"I love you, for you. I know nothing of your past, nor the man you used to be. But, what I do know is this: I am hopelessly in love with the man sitting in front of me right now.”

I finally did my first sketch of 2021! 🤗

i found the original post woooh

Consider: Fluffy Eliksni hatchlings.

“Last September, a 29-year-old Navajo climber named Len Necefer posted a photo of a young woman named Monserrat A Matehuala standing on the summit of Longs Peak, one of Colorado’s best known 14ers. What was significant was not that she summited—hundreds do each year. It was the location in the geotag that accompanied the post: Neníisótoyóú’u, the mountain’s Arapaho name.

The post was just one salvo in a quiet campaign waged by Necefer, a member of the Navajo Nation who now lives in Colorado. He earned his PhD in engineering from Carnegie Mellon, and then began working for the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Indian Energy Policy and Programs. In March 2017, Necefer also founded Natives Outdoors. While it began as a social media effort to advocate for public lands and diversify the outdoor industry, it soon became something much larger. Today, Natives Outdoors makes gear (trucker hats, shirts) and works with athletes, brands, and organizations to spread its message.

“The creation of the first national parks, like Yellowstone and Glacier, was predicated on the forced removal of indigenous populations from these areas,” says Necefer. “It created this myth that these are untouched wilderness areas.”“
