Save Our Native Land

My daughter and I in our parkas I made.

LET'S WISH THIS LITTLE ANGEL A HAPPY BIRTHDAY,

Well done New Mexico! Deb Haaland is an absolute badass. I wish nothing but success for her in the November gubernatorial election.
After serving in Congress and then on the national stage as Secretary of the Interior, she’s already proven she can navigate power, lead through complexity, and take on the old boys’ club without losing her values or her backbone. Her qualifications aren’t just impressive — they’re historic.
There’s something powerful about seeing Indigenous women not just finally getting a seat at the table, but leading the damn meeting with wisdom, grit, and generations of perspective this country desperately needs.
Turns out when you stop shutting out the people who actually know how to care for land, community, and future generations, government starts looking a little more hopeful.
Stay educated. Think critically. Every election matters.

History is not there for you to like or dislike. It is there for you to learn from it. And if it offends you, even better. Because then you are less likely to repeat it. It’s not yours for you to erase or destroy..
