Last week the federal government released a report saying it had located the remains of hundreds of Indigenous children killed at government funded assimilation schools to nominal press coverage. We have a lot to learn about this country’s tolerance for the death of children.

Nothing is as fundamental as sovereignty over our bodies. Fuck!

The common reading for my university this year is Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer. Just this week I’ve already gotten two requests to speak about it and I’m feeling all sorts of ways right now. To the Indigenous folks out there - any advice?

We are looking for someone in Native Education and/or Indigenous education. Come work with me! wsu.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/WSU_Jobs…

Indigenous students deserve Indigenous teachers. Read about how this philosophy drives co-directors Leilani Sabzalian, PhD and Michelle Jacob, PhD to train Indigenous students to teach in Indigenous communities through the UO Sapsik'ʷałá Program. bit.ly/3V59IBZ

Associate Professor at NYU A&S Jane Anderson’s Local Contexts created a digital labeling system that helps Indigenous communities regain cultural authority over artifacts, and was recently awarded a $2.5M Mellon Foundation grant! as.nyu.edu/features/impac…

New rules have entered into effect affirming what Indigenous Peoples have always known: they continue to hold sovereign rights to their lands, knowledges, and cultural heritage. Local Contexts provides tools for institutions to do this crucial work. localcontexts.org/press-releases/
