Puvungna - Protecting Sacred Space

On a college campus, this 22 acres is what remains of a sacred space for at least 5 bands of the Tongva, Kizh, & Acjachemen Nations. #indigenouspeoplesday #california

Today’s hike was four years in the making for me. More coming to @raymondswhere on why, where, and how. For now, here’s some views!

#colorado #nationalpark #visit

2nd video on Amache, the Japanese Internment Camp in Colorado. #History we should all revisit now. #detentioncenters
More videos in this series on Instagram and TikTok

Thank you #bluesky for allowing longer videos. I’ll start with an important series I’m doing covering the Japanese Internment Camp sites I’ve visited

Not even the first time

Part 1b on Charles Young (b/c videos can only be 60 secs *come on yall at least give us 90!) #blackhistory #history #america

Charles Young is an important figure to honor, now more than ever. I originally made this video in 2023 after visiting his National Monument in 2022. I am honored to revisit his legacy for #blackhistorymonth and to combat the false narratives being propagated today. #nationalpark #veteran #nps #ohio

@skylight.social I like what you’re trying to do and would enjoy being a part. I don’t have much content under a minute but here’s an example.

Beautiful day to visit the Palace! I can’t imagine what the experience was like in 1915 at the PPIE. To see this, hear the first transcontinental phone call, or see the 1st indirect colored lighting used to light up what must have felt like a future with so much possibility! #beautiful #architecture

Last night’s #sunset in Dana Point #california

From my first trip to the Olympic in 2004.
Take the time, y’all.

Working on a reel about my visit to Montezuma National. This site was almost lost bc of heavy foot traffic in the early to mid 1900’s. The conservation story here is a really good one to learn from. Hats off to the @officialnps.bsky.social for the work they do to protect + make accessible. #history

Anyone else love an image of a road disappear into the distance?

All my photos are mine.
Anyone guess where this is? I’ll give a hint - New Mexico, but can anyone ID the mountain in the distance?
