Two Videos on my involvement with Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women
What appears below was recorded for the private viewing of elected 300-400 people in Indigenous leadership across US and Canada to whom I have, over the course of the past three weeks, sent the letter I shared here yesterday. Because of the threat on my life, I am choosing to publicly share this. This is … Continue reading Two Videos on my involvement with Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women
“You Are Dead.”
My intent was not to make this public. I was going to hold it close to my heart while sharing it with leadership within Indian Country across the continent and, with any luck and a few answered prayers, create a plan for the deep work that needs to be done.

There's no sleeping in here, though blessedly there *has* been sleep. Sleep helps the mind and body navigate through homelessness & the rest … Continue reading Another Truth about Suicide
A Lesson from the Covid-year
This year has taught me a lot and it has cemented for me this: The work I do is absolutely for everyone who is called to me, no matter this size of their checking account. This is for everyone who is ready to be met where they are, as they are. The unfolding of Covid-related … Continue reading A Lesson from the Covid-year
