Made the front page of the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner today. I also have a letter to the editor about NANA.
These ICE contracts use the same violence inflicted on Alaska Natives during the boarding school era- separating families and denying access to language and culture.
It is white supremacy.

The NAACP Anchorage branch declares a state of emergency over escalating hate and threats to our members and community members for speaking out in light of recent events and calls for the community to stand in solidarity with us to uplift and support marginalized voices and communities across AK.

I was quoted in this article! We will see this administration use Alaska Natives for cover, whitewashing their fascist take over under the guise of helping minorities.
Also, I don't identify as Iñupiaq, I am Iñupiaq. I told the reporter how tribal enrollment is weird in Alaska because of ANCs.

The entire show was amazing, but Laganja Estranja pouring a drink all over herself will stay with me forever.
Also, her performing in Fairbanks ON GREEN UP is priceless. 💚
Arciniega Street Productions and Klondike Drag did another amazing show, God damn.

If you want to read my LTTE. It's wild that UA Regent Seth Church and state Representative Frank Tomaszewski can be in such positions of power and admin these groups that routinely platform racist viewpoints while actively denying those calling it out.

I got tatted! Either they represent "the origin of infinity" "is meant to evoke the vastness of space or the unlimited potential of humans" or "you read Sonic the Hedgehog fanfiction don't you." (It's the Sega Dreamcast logo, US and European)
And I'll show you my arm tats later!

I keep getting recommended posts on Facebook by pages called things like, "Native American Herritage" but it's all AI images that look like white people.
We got, "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman in a river" and "hot guy with Native fluids and tats on face."

Painted my nails the colors of this year's Tanana Valley State Fair- pink, teal and light green.
It's sloppy, but it'll clean up after a shower.
