Peace is forgiving. to heal, is to detach from exchanging emotions that doesn’t feel right. Attach to your healing thoughts of appreciation. Feel the unity of love as we go through any storm with love in our hearts. Love is not angry. Love is not justification. Love is not justice. Hate can never fit in a world of love. There is no hate when there is love. Have a wonderful loving day! ~evie~ #bekindtoyourthoughts #BLM #indigenouslove #faith #worthy #worldpeace #peacewithin #aworldofpeace #peacebewithyou #loveyourself #thesecret #grateful #humble #peaceful #love #joy #enjoythejourney #lovethyneighbor #spiritual #mindful #caring #compassion #poweroflove #powerofintention #lifeisgood #alliswell #lawofattraction #thesecretdailyteachings #rhondabyrne #abrahamhicks https://www.instagram.com/p/CBYGDEyjRXc/?igshid=pcl4mdv3qywd

He roamed old growth forests where once his ancestors roamed. Prayed, collected and gave thanx to the cedar sisters for their offerings. & Then builds a smokehouse with his treasures to provide for his family not just once but now twice. Promise me to forever be this beautiful stoic Nuučaan̓uł lover, father, friend & many more.. & I’ll promise over & over to forever love & take care of you until the end of time. Then when our time is up I’ll search for you in the next realm & we can do it all over again. ✊🏽🖤✨ - An Indigenous love story based on a true story, some chapter in the middle 😉🤷🏻‍♀️ #indigenouslove https://www.instagram.com/p/BpGEX6yhQTw/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=uuue3hxzbwn7

Chills. ... By Mahpiya Waci Win :: If you want to protect the water, you better start protecting the women. You aren't gonna get free or rise up if your women continue to be steady hurt & killed by gendered violence at such heightened rates. Whether you like it or not, your own misogyny lends to maintaining this form of violence because it blurs your ability to recognize & draw structural connections between settler colonization, Native dispossession & genocide, & the rape/murder/overall erasure of Native women. That's systemic, so don't take it personal. If you can't see it, you won't be able to speak out against it. But what's more, you'll be very likely to perpetuate it because this is a violently structured society that privileges cishet men. A decolonial love requires all of us to put in work . A decolonial love ensures our safety & protection as Native women. Settler colonialism is defined by cishet patriarchal & paternal domination. Meaning, Native men are socialized to unknowingly be active colonizers during this ongoing process of settler colonialism - perpetuating gendered violence in all its multi-dimensional forms is integral to an ongoing process of genocide. Our men must do everything in their power to unlearn these Eurocentric, misogynistic behaviors & continually untangle themselves from a colonial design that centers on disappearing Native women, & subsequently Native nations. Because it is the women who birth nations. Protecting us, protects your nation. The daily lives & overall existence of Indigenous women ARE the frontlines. We end up leading out of necessity. It's a lifeway ultimately grounded on a desire to live, not to compete or degrade our beautiful men. A decolonial love is a necessity - without it, our essence & overall being will continue to be erased. Do the work & remember who you've always been & thus, who you need to come back to. I say this with so much love because I believe in you AND I love you. #IndigenousWoman #IndigenousLove

Language as a means of belonging and what that means for me...

I can imagine how hard it is for someone to feel accepted when language is the barrier. I understand now more then ever how important language is; knowing your own and having the knowledge of other languages around the world. Throughout this beautiful, life changing journey I have had time to reflect on the disconnect I feel sometimes between me and my own culture…

Sitting and listening to South Africans speak their native tongue of Afrikaans and or Zulu to each other and having no idea what they are saying or what they are talking about is a new, different and somewhat difficult experience for me. It is new and different for me because in my household we speak english, that is our first language and all I have known my whole life. It is amazing that they are able to still have their language be so much apart of their culture and everyday lives, and to hear that strength of culture that they still have. It is difficult for me because it reminds me of what my people have lost due to residential schools, colonialism and the social systems and constructs that “govern” us today. It reminds me of how I feel in our traditional big houses and during ceremonies when my people speak our language. It reminds me that yes I am a proud Indigenous woman from the Kwaguilth and Blackfoot people but sometimes I feel less than, because I cannot relate with that language and I do not understand what my family is saying.

For the first time in my life I truly understand why language is important and preserving that language. For me, it speaks to belonging and how truly important it is to have that sense of belonging. Language is just as important as song, dance, ceremonies, community and support. Language is a privilege that I believe some take for granted. I have learned over the years that it isn’t something everyone does feel comfortable with and it isn’t always a safe space for people, especially in our Indigenous communities. There is a lot of stigma and prejudice against language and I understand that as this new generation we truly have to restore that language and bring back the strength in our peoples voices. We cannot allow language to define us, but we cannot allow for language to die with our ancestors either!

This journey has been really life changing and has opened my world to so many new opportunities and doors for me. But it has also opened certain doors; dark spaces and unsafe places that I was hiding without realizing. Deep rooted pain that I couldn't really explain before and why that pain was there. I have had the time to reflect what that means to me, what I must do about it and the LANGUAGE I will use to help safely guide me through the dark. Language and words are extremely powerful and I truly believe we all need to sit and listen more to that language; how it makes us feel and what it is truly saying.

I WILL learn my language and I WILL pass it on to the next generation!!!
