In this happy, vibrant nod to Rock Your Mocs Day, author Laurel Goodluck and artist Madelyn Goodnight celebrate the joy and power of wearing moccasins all year round—and the Native pride that comes with them.

🤓🗣️

Every word we reclaim is a step away from colonial erasure and a return to who we truly are.

🗣 Learning your language isn’t just learning vocabulary — It’s remembering your responsibilities, reviving your worldview, and re-rooting yourself in ancestral knowledge.

It’s ceremony.
It’s resistance.
It’s re-connection.

Because colonization attacked our languages to break our nations.
So when we speak again, we don’t just heal — we rebuild.

Language is decolonization in motion. Start where you are. Keep going.

I realize this is not the same tribe telling the story who produced the handouts, however, I just love this telling of the story! If I were using this in a classroom, I would highlight each tribe’s location and language group while sharing! 😍🌽
