Be real. Be YOU.
Maybe you’re not a language keeper, but know the songs… Maybe you’re not a basket weaver, but know the roots…. Maybe you don’t keep the medicines, but you keep the children. Maybe you’re not a dancer, but you make the regalia…. Maybe you don’t keep a lodge, but you keep the fire….
We don’t need to be all things to be Indigenous, to be worthy, to be valued & to belong. We had societies & our roles were specific to our gifts…. Quit exhausting your Spirit trying to be gifted at everything…. It doesn’t make you more Traditional…. Slow down & honor your strengths….
When the blood in your veins returns to the sea and the earth in your bones return to the ground, perhaps then you will remember that this land does not belong to you. It is you who belong to the land
