the sourdough adventures continue!

on today’s menu: sourdough soft gingerbread cookies and cranberry sourdough steamed pudding

FROM SCRATCH!

i’m sitting at home watching ‘deep impact’ and i got a question for you guys:

if we suddenly got breaking news and only had 1 year left on earth—what would you do and who would spend your remaining time with?

and how much of your answer are you doing already?

poppy did the whalefest fun run this morning and absolutely killed it

it wasn’t his best finish time—we got distracted by a whale swimming beside us—but ya boy still got big cheers as he crossed the finish line 😜

indian taco sale happening now at anb hall

all proceeds will go towards supporting mount edgecumbe students affected by typhoon halong

sounds like many people are canceling travel plans this november due to the government shutdown and decreased flights nationwide

as a native american who does not celebrate thanksgiving, i humbly ask that you consider donating your cancelled travel costs to native organizations in your communities

🚌 Look what else we’re doing in Wrangell! I was inspired by Sitka’s Fill the Bus event! Now we’re going to fill Breakaway Adventures’ shuttle bus next week on Thursday & give the goods to the Salvation Army Food Bank. 🥫

guys… we only have to suffer through 13 more months of this if we play our cards right, register to vote, donate, canvas, and vote in the primary and general

alaskans: we need a 2/3 majority in the senate to do this—so dan sullivan has got to go next year

“Experiencing the use of food insecurity as a weapon of control by the government is nothing new to Native Americans

They destroyed our food systems, then forced us to rely on government ration

We didn’t “fail” to be self-sufficient, the system was built to make sure we couldn’t be”

effective immediately—the blackfeet tribal court is allowing all defendants to pay their court fines with community contributions of food… or toys and clothes donations during the holidays

this is the kind of community support that i’m here for!

wow, sitka! y’all really showed up for sitka tribe’s ‘fill the bus’ food drive on saturday 🥹

“creating joy in life is active suicide prevention”

i attended the ‘youth suicide prevention training’ in sitka today and a rainbow came out while we were smudging attendees with sage

it was a great way to start learning about a very heavy, yet prevalent, issue in our communities
