Wild. Fucking wild.

Maybe it’s love 💚🌳

Many people are mistaking their moral failures as “opinions”, and it really shows.

I had the honour of visiting the Lands and People of Whitehorse, Yukon! 🏔️ I got to present my keynote on Healing Our Relationship with the Land, along with workshops on eco-somatic practices for early learners. - For info on our services, visit: www.relentlessindigenouswoman.ca

This is my immediate strategy for surviving this time: Plant trees. Buy seeds. Make compost. Make plans for my garden. Walk outside. Lift weights. Read books. Make art. I planted bulbs the day after the election. They are under the frozen ground, resting and doing their thing. Every day I look

It’s easy to feel helpless right now, but remember we have tremendous capacity to help one another Small acts of kindness like wearing a respirator, checking on someone who might be all alone, making a meal for someone in need, donating to mutual aid….These things have a huge impact Love over hate

How does terrorizing farm workers, school kids and hard working immigrants make America great, especially when you release and pardon violent insurrectionists? White Nationalism is Nazism.

I thought I was gonna be in my soft era. But all this bs is bringing my warrior out. Folks thought I was relentless before—I’m about to get “worse” 🤘

One of my Ancestors was part of the ☠️ of settlers because they were starving his People. I’m not saying I’m kind of like my Ancestor. I’m saying I’m an embodiment of him.

Dear Trolls, I told the Land and Waters about you. But they didn’t know your name.

Especially if many of them are ON THEIR OWN NATIVE LANDS

As a certified trauma informed somatic coach, I have created a workshop for educators of early learners that integrates somatics with the Land, aka eco-somatics, for meaningful circle time 💚 Now taking books for April and May 🌱 To connect, visit our site at: www.relentlessindigenouswoman.ca

These current times will be recorded in history. Act accordingly—be an absolute fucking nuisance.

They took away affirmative action, DEI, the equal employment opportunity act, and told you it’s to center merit. Some of you actually believe you’ll finally be able to prove your worth without these things. Newsflash: it was never about merit, they just don’t want you in their spaces lol

i’m so tired but i’ve got obligations 😩

My embracing of gender diverse folks is rooted in Ancestral coding, human rights, science, care, and community. Your denial of gender diverse folks is rooted in colonial coding, bigotry, ignorance, fear, and elitism. We are not the same.

Even if you voted for him, you can still change your stance on things. You can still uphold humanity, dignity, and ethics. You can still change to give others a chance.

Keep living within your Ancestral memory, my Two Spirit & Indigenous Trans and Gender Diverse Relatives. Colonial rule cannot and will not ever break our Ancestral memories and coding 🪶🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

There was always more than two genders in America. Always will be. Love, Every Indigenous Queer and Two Spirit Person Ever 🏳️‍🌈🪶

My PhD dissertation is now published for the public!!! 🤩 You can read it here: www.proquest.com/docview/3156... I hope this work does what I intended for it to do—heal and inspire.

“You don’t look Native.” My bad. I left my eagle, teepee, and moccasins at home 🙃 I dress like a Native because I AM Native. I behave like a Native because I AM Native. I speak like a Native because I AM Native. I write and create like a Native because I AM Native.

To escape the paradox of tolerance, you need to shift the value away from tolerance being the essence of morality. If someone says to you, “you’re intolerant of my [intolerant] beliefs about queer people.” Just say your morality is not determined by tolerance.

Sooo today is my day off, so I obvi took an edible and played video games. I beat the game. Then had the sudden urgency to purchase $200 worth of books on gardening, foraging, and survival ‘cause the world is becoming fked.

In a world full of Carrie Underwoods, be a Dolly Parton 💅

Back from a social media hiatus! What uncomfortable truths shall I bring out now? 👀👀

Got my PhD!! Watch out, world. A Rez kid has mastered your own game 🪶

Our oral Indigenous traditional stories hold teachings that no book has the spine to carry 🌿🤍🪶

I saw a conservative person state that progressive people like to fear monger via “cancel culture,” yet they fear monger via canceling human rights. They fear social rejection and we fear our human rights being taken away. It’s not the same, boo.

“Love the sinner, hate the sin” is just the dehumanization of the 2SLGBTQ+ community with better PR.

For folks who follow me and wonder why I speak on human rights and think I’m divisive: I am not problematic for speaking on division, I am simply communicating the problem of ongoing division.

I asked Creator for growth and healing. So she invited me to look into areas of discomfort and pain. She asked me to speak to them. And damn, they had a lot to say, and didn’t ask for much. They asked for validation and care. This is how you alchemize the dark parts 🖤

Gratitude should be a way of being instead of using it to absolve people from knowing the truth of the first American Thanksgiving 🍁🍂

Joining Bluesky with the hope of it being in a safer space than the “book.” The “book” has allowed cowardly people to be cowards for too long. Happy to connect with folks on here that support Indigenous solidarity 🪶💜

What’s up, Bluesky? Relentless Indigenous Woman here 😘🤍🪶
