"Banding together to fight Indigenous nations without help from distant England forced the colonies to forge a new, unified identity. At the end of the war to celebrate their victory, the Governor ... declared a Day of Thanksgiving."

The myth of Thanksgiving is as American as it is wrong
Every year, we tell the mythical story of the first Thanksgiving so we can ignore the obvious truth that this land was taken not by friendship, but by violence.

The Washington Football Team Is Changing Its Name. What's Next?
The real reason for the change had little to do with a change of heart. It all came down to protecting the team’s financial interests.

Mama needs some cash to send kids to camps next week, so who wants some earrings? I have these and a few more I'm working on now.
Bottom row $20, top row $35, all others $25, shipping to U.S. included. All sterling silver except top right have copper ear wires. PayPal or Venmo.

Guess what?! I'm beading again!
I took some time off to complete a second Master's Degree (this time in Applied Data Science, again from the University of Michigan), and then just didn't get back into making things regularly. But I'm back!

Oof, tough to open up the WaPo page this morning & see this. It's wild how many people just have no idea what happened to our families. I'm grateful for Sec Deb Haaland, and worried about what comes next.

More than 3,100 students died at schools built to crush Native American cultures
Over 3,100 Native American students died at boarding schools between 1828 and 1970, a Post investigation found — three times as many as the U.S. previously reported.

All but 2 schools in the county closed for weather & icy roads today. My kids have school, so I came to work. Would much rather be home with a blanket & my dogs on my lap watching Christmas movies. Could've gotten some beading done too. Ah well.

Hubby & don't watch much tv. We pick a show & watch 1 episode/night. Currently on tap is Resident Alien. Last night's episode (Season 1, Ep 4) had some great music, including this banger.

A lot of folks are giving up in advance. Capitulating before a single skirmish.
Well, not this old warrior. I’ve seen much worse from the U.S. government in my day. I’m concerned for our country, but not a bit scared of these miscreants. I’m ready to do my part.
Who’s with me?

It's Feel Good Frybread at the UMich Museum of Art. Had some frybread, watched a video on the stars, picked up this poster screen printed on sight by Heron Hill Designs, and got to see some people who look like us. Couldn't stay late enough for Mato Wayuhi, but I love this Smoke Signals Muskrat!
