Waqaa and Cama-i to all of my new and old followers on bsky.

I’m Nevi and I have a special love for Alaska, indigenous sovereignty, and child welfare. I’ve spent years advocating for ICWA and sharing my experiences in the Alaska foster care system.

Quyana! 🩵

Huh. Alaska's anti-education governor is encouraging people to call in tomorrow and speak against HB 69. He even included talking points you can read at the link! You should call in too, but please do take the unusual position of actually voicing support for our schools. kthx #akleg

I'm getting my tribal ID. I've never felt the need to carry one. I'm scared now and I'm scared for my relatives.

If you are Native, please get your tribal ID or proof of Native blood ASAP. Do not let these fools take you.

A letter from Rez. The fear in Indian Country USA is real. It’s not good when tribes are comparing Trump to the genocide era. No one should have to ask: “Will I need a passport to leave the reservation?” - an actual question tribal admin is dealing with now.

If someone calls me a snowflake, I take it as a compliment.

This one grew where rapid branch growth was favored after falling from a different environment. I focus stacked many separate photos to get it all focused. To my naked eye, it looked like a tiny fuzzy ball of ice.

My heart is breaking. The world seems so ugly and I just don't feel strong enough to fight it right now.

High temperatures in and around Alaska on Thursday. A daily record high at Kodiak. Cold air at the surface trapped in the Copper River basin. #akwx #weather @climatologist49.bsky.social

I started a #NativesinSTEM starter pack. If you want to be added, tell me a little bit about yourself, including who your people are and what you study

This is the truth, listen to your heart, live your life and love your life, don't judge yourself by anyone else's expectations.

If there was one thing I could tell every native woman, it’s that you really are capable of accomplishing anything you want at any age, and it doesn’t matter what it is as long as you’re happy. Whether that’s becoming a lawyer or a stay at home mom.
