What a great and co-learning week with Tribal students, faculty, staff, community members and Tribal leaders. Indigidata is designed to be an Indigenous Learning Space. Collectivizing knowledge, consensus building and going forward to face the dangers of Neocolonialism.

The Trump admin has cancelled the panels that approve NIH grants, & is also banning scientists from communicating with the public, attending conferences, and hiring.

NIH is the largest funder of biomedical research in the world. This will severely halt the development of many lifesaving treatments.

How do you keep hope alive?

The same way our ancestors did which my beautifully brilliant friend, Tanaya Winder worded as "In Dark Times Commit to Be Revolutionary, Legendary Love".

WE ARE STILL IN THIS.
Wipe your tears.
This is the difficult business of hope and defying expectation.
We do not give up.
We run through the tape.

Y’all aren’t allowed to throw in the towel until I do. 😉

Big breath. Locked in. Let’s do this.

Resistance is a muscle that must be exercised regularly or it risks being weakened over time by forces who are pushing conformity to injustice.
