Colonialism taught us to forget who we are.But we are living in the time of the Seventh Fire — the moment to choose the path of healing, land, and remembering.✨

I caught myself memorizing what my child was wearing — their shoes, backpack, everything… just in case. 🧠🎒That’s not instinct. That’s hypervigilance — the body remembering what it’s like to lose safety.Healing is teaching it: you’re safe now. 🌿

At Utah Valley University — the same campus rocked recently by the tragic shooting of Charlie Kirk — Nizhoni, Victoria, and I had the humbling privilege of leading a discussion in Introduction to Native American Studies on boarding school history and its enduring impact.It’s impossible to talk about colonial violence without naming how trauma lives in our bodies, communities, and collective memory. To stand in that space — on a campus now bearing fresh pain — and speak of history, healing, and accountability felt deeply necessary.May we continue to hold sacred the truths that wound us, offer witness to the pain, and choose walking toward healing even when it’s hard. 🪶

When love and safety feel like opposites.Your mind forgives faster than your body remembers.You’re not weak for wanting to stay — you’re human. 🌿
