On this day in 1908, my uncle was buried at Loon Creek. He was only 1 year old, according to this church record recorded in French. The truth about Sacred Heart Mission is hidden. I will find the truth, for Kokum & Mochum.

My latest Investigative feature, ”Indigenous Behind Bars,” is now online (and in print) @theprogressivemag.bsky.social. Many leftist publications pay nearly no notice to modern crises facing #NativeAmerican & #AlaskaNative ppl, but The Progressive does. progressive.org/magazine/ind...
How does this happen? Really… who follows this guy?

I guess I’m a hardcore Indigenous liberationist because sovereignty isn’t granted—it’s inherent. The Medicine Line was never ours. Land Back is justice. Our laws, languages, and ways of knowing are resistance. We don’t need permission to exist. We are sovereign, we are strong, and we are still here.

#GeraldGrayJr wants to rewrite our history, claiming people aren’t Little Shell because they’re not enrolled. But Red Thunder, chief under Little Shell III, made it clear: “These are the children and descendants of that woman. They must be recognized as members.” It’s not enrollment- it’s family❤️
Gerald Gray Jr. and his goons have harassed, stalked, and intimidated Sarah, a 70-year-old lifelong advocate for Indian people. They’ve taken photos of her at home and in her car to silence her. A true leader protects their people—Sarah stands for justice, and we stand with her!
The answers are within us—not in systems built to hold us back. 🌟 Let’s reclaim our stories, rebuild our economies, and revitalize our cultures for future generations. 🌍✨
Have a great weekend ❤️❤️❤️
