The more we make the committed effort to raise our children in, and surrounded by, indigenous systems, the stronger our children will become as Indigenous peoples.

meeting communities where they are at ≠ maintaining status quo of systemic oppression & white supremacy meeting communities where they are at = being trauma informed, making space for discussions around liberation, being creative

It takes only one generation to lose a language in a family line. It takes only one determined generation to get it back.

The moments when kids show us we’re essentially obsolete — that they’ve got things under control — it’s honestly awesome. They’re so respectful and self-sufficient. It’s their space and they take care of it. Who needs a lock on a library door anyway? /7

The garbage and recycling bins are overly full, and the furniture is a little askew, but they’ve been completely respectful of the space. Borrowing books and returning them. Hanging out where it’s warm. No idea that the library wasn’t technically “open.” /6

Whoever closed up on Christmas Eve evidently forgot to lock the library. It’s been unlocked since — a little over a week. And the kids say they’ve been coming every day except Christmas Day. /5

Today, our executive director popped down to the office to pick something up. And...the library was full of kids! /4

We have a crowd of elementary kids who hang out at the library every day after school. So many that during the school year, we often hire seventh graders on rotation to “work” in the library after school to keep it tidy. /3

So our nonprofit,
@qqsprojects, runs a library. Our office is attached to the library but it has a separate entrance. We also operate an adjacent cafe/gift shop, which was busy up until Christmas Eve but has been closed since. /2Show this threadThanks. Twitter will use this info to make your timeline better.

My conflict: "Stop telling your people to connect with land, you're only hurting them". Also me: I'm not telling them, I'm begging. Knowing that every interaction they have with land means they plant seeds, when they drop the berries they pick" The land needs us. We need land.

My degree doesn’t make me qualified to speak on environmental and cultural issues pertaining to my people and this land; my ancestors do.

There is a danger in equating intellectualism as only coming from academia. It reinforces the primitive trope of Native people. Many of our great leaders were intellectuals. Our ancestors were philosophers and scientists.
