Beginnings

Aristocats play Lizzo. Sound on!

When will I know I’m ready?

You won’t. It’s a leap of faith. That’s all it is, Miles. A leap of faith.

Across the United States, there are 556 federally recognized American Indian and Alaska Native nations. Each one has it’s own unique history and culture. American education has not bothered to tell us that Native people lived in peace and effectively governed themselves before the Europeans came along. American education has not informed us that Native Americans have been slighted ever since, not even being recognized as citizens (despite the fact that they were here first) until the 20th century. 

But we don’t have to push these facts aside. We can stop celebrating a man that began a genocide and a terrible theft of land and culture, and start celebrating Indigenous Peoples for their rich history and their equal contributions to society.

To all Indigenous Peoples out there: we’re glad you’re here!

All Star but it’s in a minor key so it makes you question life and realize the years start comin and they don’t stop comin
