  3. Happy Native American Heritage Month!

    To celebrate, we have uploaded and released 9 of Dr. Tammy Greer's 2022 Library of Congress Community Collection project interviews that we featured on our 2023 Indigenous Gulf Stream. Her project's name is "And We Are Still Here: Indigenous Culture Bearers of Houma Communities".

    The interviews are near the top in a playlist entitled "Library of Congress Interviews 2023". Enjoy!

  4. Happy International Nonbinary People's Day!

    My people, the Houma, have recorded queer and nonbinary/trans peoples met and written about since colonization began, from the early 1700s and before.

    This is not new. It is reclaimed from colonial genocidal forces. It has survived, and so will I, and so will my people.

  7. End of May chicken updates!

    All 10 original chicks are getting strong and doing well! I've taught at least a couple of them how to use the chicken swing, and I'm so proud of them. They bob their head to keep up the momentum and everything, it's wonderful.

    We added 3 black copper maran chicks to the total numbers today! They're inside until they're big enough to begin the slow integration into the flock!

  8. More growing chicken pictures! Bonus end picture, my babies harassing a cottonmouth! Brave lil raptors. They're all fine, I brought them inside the coop and the snake moved on.

    Also on Saturday, there's also a dedication to the fierce Houma ancestor, Rosalie Courteaux at the Montegut Dugas cemetery at her plaque (or if raining it'll be at the Montegut Fire Station) if you're in the lower bayou region. 2pm.

  10. CW: Life

    My life has been a wild ride. I'm thankful for how I've ridden it out, and the people around me. Life feels so uncertain, but there are sure and steady places I can land, and I recognize there are lots of people for whom that isn't true.

    Like the crawfish, I'm going to keep building soft places for people to land and build on. Never thought about my work that way before just now... how connected it is to my people's origin story. It's a comforting thought. #UmaSeyah #IndigenousGulf #Indigenous #activism #IndigenousCreatives

  11. @IndigenousFoodSov
    I have a #MutualAidRequest please! My community and I am fundraising for the year end ceremony costs for everyone to attend after my dear brothers funerary rights last year, as is traditional for a Sundancer. We gather at the end of this month, so we're really down to it now. #UmaSeyah #Indigenous #IndigenousGulf

    I wrote the story Buk Nasuba', with artist Kayla Shaggy, in the A Howl Anthology (redplanetbooksncomics.com/page)

  13. My elder cried today, thinking about how thankful she was that the current group of impassioned youth are helping progress our traditional knowledge tribal education for all our people, thinking about how her parents were trying to keep the culture going too and how many of our people she's seen just assimilate. Oh, my heart. I reminded her, we couldn't do this without her, and we love her *so much* and we're so, so thankful that she believes in us and the work we're doing, and that she sees us and loves us.
