American Museum of Natural History had a precious :mowachahtmuchalaht: Mowachaht/Muchalaht whaling shrine in storage for 120 years.

It's going home. 🙌🙌

The shrine was in a secret location near Yuquot, which was also the point of first contact between European colonists and west coast Nations in Canada.

It is possible to visit Yuquot by taking the working-ferry from Gold River. Great day trip!

A dark skinned First Nations man stands and speaks. He is wearing a heavy brown jacket. Some people are standing behind him. There are also some drawings or paintings. They are standing in hall of the church at Yoquot. The caption says: "It wasn't to be spoken of or displayed or anything like that," explained Mowachaht/Muchalaht Tyee Ha'wilth Mike Maquinna, who awaits a period of helping his people understand how the whalers' shrine should be respected.

Something that would never happen if Canada was "the 51st State”.

"The Lax Kw’alaams band has called a referendum for April 9 to vote on the proposed Da’ax Kw’alaams Man-Ayaawx Constitution, a momentous step toward establishing their own self-governance framework.”

Leaders full of heart and dignity maybe come along once in our lifetimes. If Wab Kinew ever decides to run for Prime Minister of #Canada I'll vote for whatever party he chooses to lead.

At a press conference on March 26, #Winnipeg police confirmed the identity of Mashkode Bizhiki’ikwe (Buffalo Woman), to be Ashlee Shingoose.

Ashlee’s father Albert Shingoose had one request for #Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew: sing a song in her honour.

The things I have had wrong.
The old line was that "The Ghost Dance" was a "Indian revival to go back to the old life".
No sir.

Dr Warren began a deep dig into the message, the instructions & life of Wewoka, a.k.a. Jack Wilson, the Paiute prophet that began the movement.

It was a unifying movement for all native peoples. Pressed toward both modernization & holding onto identity, while dealing with how you treated your neighbor.
SO good.

Defending Land Rights in the Amazon in Brazil

The land defenders say they will remain mobilized until their rights are guaranteed. “We will not leave. We left our homes, we have children, young people and the elderly here. This is to resist. We will not give up our territory."
