A great nature film not just narrated by an Indigenous person but from an Indigenous perspective. Got to watch this film at the NAFWS SW regional conference.
A new film, “The American Southwest,” narrated by activist and model Quannah Chasinghorse, takes viewers on a journey down the Colorado River to explore its diversity and fragility.

Artist Georgia O'Keeffe ignored the Indigenous presence all around her in New Mexico. Now a new exhibition at the O'Keeffe Museum draws awareness to the ongoing presence of Tewa Peoples by presenting a group exhibition of Tewa artists.

This is what Indigenous joy looks like. From an Indian boarding school that tried to eradicate our Indigenous culture & traditions, to several Tribes in solidarity, reclaiming the school to continue practicing our way of life for future generations. 🫶🏽 #SFIS #alumni

Friends, I know you're excited to try protesting, but under no circumstances should you ever sign up to attend one. I'm suspicious of any org asking people to put their name on a list that is easily accessible via warrant or may even be public. You can just show up day of.

Wow, I feel very lucky that there were a few left at B&N in westside ABQ 😁. My husband saw the title & said "hey, that's about me"😆. I don't think he saw the extra "hunter". The book is not signed but hopefully one day I'll get it signed 😉.

New Mexico just passed a law to create Indigenous-language compact schools where Native kids will learn Tiwa, Tewa, Towa, Keres, Apache, Zuni, and Diné.
