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!

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.

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!

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.
