RE: Indigenous Erasure on the 4th of July: Prayer for a Common Memory

Yes precisely... your last paragraph...✨✨

I didn’t know that about the transportation...

The people of Taos Pueblo have such a rich culture and as u know the longest standing Pueblo in the nation... they never were forced to move (what a horrendous thing to be an anomaly because of)... I have a memory of being invited to one of their sweat lodge ceremonies... so open to me being there while they held their ceremony- they didn’t have to let me come, but they did and I am immensely richer for it. I’m excited for your project and hope to hear more about it as it unfolds.

Kindness, respect and coming together yes, and yet I see so many harmful American cultural ideologies and (incomplete or even straight up wrong- oppressor often writes history) histories informing realities. we must bring this to light as we are coming together. So much division in this country... I know it in my family, local community, I see it everywhere on the internet. so much to unlearn as you say and then share as we are unlearning. I know I didn’t learn any of this in school. So it goes indeed 💙🌀
