When you are focused on 'raising their vibration', what are you really trying to do? Why would you choose to do that rather than asking, out loud, "How can I help?" I ask this because the judgment behind someone's (or a situation's) 'vibration' not being what you think it should and attempts to manipulate it... Continue Reading →
Dinetah
Two nights ago, in dreamtime, someone demanded to know my relationship with the 'cornfield compound', somehow thinking that where I am and that relationship were somehow incongruous. My response then was, "It's complicated." My relationship with Navajoland began long before I can remember, long before this lifetime. I don't know the how of it all... Continue Reading →
Operation Lady Justice Isn’t
Forgive my cynicism but the notion that the United States (or any state’s) government can effectively intervene or investigate the causes and solutions for Missing and Murdered Indigenous women is utter horseshit and an exercise in hypocrisy. On November 26, President Donald J. Trump signed an executive order creating a White House task force on... Continue Reading →
The Isolation of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women Efforts

See Something, Say Something Yes, you. So, when a Grandmother tells me I'm putting too much salt in a dish, I listen. I only had to disagree once to know she's right. When my gut says, "Don't head into that mud", I don't even try to argue. When my car says, "Yes", we go because... Continue Reading →
The Gila River Monster, the Cowesses council member, the Wich-itan and the $50,000 Bullet
Three men representing three Nations across two countries. Gentlemen, did you really think you were operating unseen? Did you think those you claim to revere in public would approve of your behavior in private? Did you really think you could weaponize the medicine to protect yourselves, your 'product', and it's flow? Did it not occur... Continue Reading →
Off-line Recruiting Centers for The Fuckery
It is easy for many to keep the idea of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women as isolated; part of their world and, therefore, not our problem. They are sorely mistaken. While indigenous women and girls across the Americas are targeted victims for The Fuckery, they are not the only vulnerable ones that are potential prey. ... Continue Reading →
