I recommend taking the “Grocier’s Quotes” off of Tribes.

I felt almost ashamed or complicit. Was I naive? Should I have been able to tell somehow?

Then a person whom I had looked up to for years as a successful Native academic, turned out to be a pretendian as well. Having come from rural Alaska where it is almost unheard of to fake Native heritage, I just didn’t know how to handle it. TBH I still don’t.

I bonded with him because his fear was so immense and yet he trusted me. He grew from a terrified animal into a sweet and friendly old dog, and I’m not sure if many people know how much older dogs can change. That old aphorism is not accurate. #DogsOfBluesky

Like many other nonprofit leaders I spent the day in crisis planning, Board updates, and identifying the non-federal projects that staff could work on until we know more.

For those of you who haven't read the executive order about Alaska, it does a lot more than open ANWR to drilling and renaming Denali. They are going to revisit ANCSA, which gave lands back to Alaska Natives and was settled in 1971.
