Happy thanksgiving to everyone in the states! I do want to also remind and wish everyone a happy national Native American Heritage month!

With na’vi being based on indigenous tribes across the world, it’s important that we acknowledge their influence and do our part to properly educate ourselves on their cultures and history and especially their current struggles today.

A way you can show your support this month is by buying from indigenous artists to show our support! Whether that be local or through sites like Etsy.

Love you all so much! Please take care of yourself and remember to drink plenty of water today!☺️💜

There has been a journey within the paternal lineage; of ancestries stretching across the southwest + south of turtle island, which unfolded a mystery of the stories and traditions.

There were past moments in my life of feeling lost, but then finding puzzle pieces along the way and remembering that the ancestries are never lost.

as the stories and holy scriptures are found in nature, the elders, community, nature — within.

vibrating in the ancestral songs of art, music and dance

listening, remembering, expressing. in the purity of our hearts, our vessel

that wherever we are wherever we go

we find everything within us and give gratitude to life + creation

to the grand rising of a new day

today and everyday

Day of the dead is actually a two day holiday contrary to what people believe, The first of November is to mourn the children that have passed away, the 2nd of November is to remember the adults that have passed away.

These rituals have been around a long time being older than Christ, originating in Mexica and Huasteca mythology, its first set up an ofrenda with a table and the photos of a loved one, food they liked, and flowers called Cempohualxochitl

The people paint themselves as skeletons to represent the life and death

When you die you go to the Mictlán, the land of the dead held by Mictlantecuhtli, you stay there for four years until you go through the challenge of 9 (or 7 in huasteca) nivels , the first one you face entirely how you died and spend 39 years there to cleanse your sins until you manage to finish them and redeem yourself to which you can finally just disappear in the afterlife, and in real life your relatives no longer need to do these rituals and remember you as you have left.

This tradition is what makes mexican view the process grieving a lot more differently than others and a reminder of our heritage.

Feliz día de muertos and happy native American month 🇲🇽

AITA for telling my mixed race cousin the truth about her racial background?

This happened a few months back but continues to divide our family to this day, and I have my own regrets about it, so I thought it would be good to get some outside perspective.

My little cousin (we'll call her May) was privately adopted by my aunt 17 years ago. Her biological mom already had 4 kids at home, 2 of them special needs, and she was an unplanned pregnancy. But she was also deeply religious and against abortion, so she went to her (southern baptist) church for help. My aunt was a member of that church and was having trouble conceiving, so she offered to adopt the woman's baby and she agreed.

I know all this for a fact because my aunt asked my mom to come with her as emotional support when she met with the bio mom and dad at their home to talk more about the details. I was dragged along (8 years old at the time) and saw the bio parents myself. The mom was white, and the dad was black. I sat and listened to them talk about boring adult stuff and heard both the man and woman refer to May as "their baby". Then I got bored and went in the other room to play with their kids on the xbox.

Fast forward 17 years later to the present day and May has done pretty well in life. She's a straight A student with a 4.0 and wants to be a physicist. She knows she's adopted and knows she's mixed race (would be pretty hard to hide, since both her parents are whiter than mayo and she's obviously not). I never said anything about her being half black, because I assumed she knew. I found out she does not when she was talking about looking into scholarships and says maybe she can get a scholarship for Indigenous peoples. I laugh because I assume she's joking.

May looks at me and asks why that's so funny, and I say because she's not Native American. She looks truly pissed now and like she's geared up for a fight against a racist and says yes, she is. I look at her parents for backup but they won't look me in the eye. "May, I met your parents. You're half black," I told her. She calls me a liar and says that's stupid, because her parents got her through an adoption agency and she knows she's half Native American.

Now I'll tell you, I know my aunt and uncle made jokes about how she "looks like an Indian" when she was a baby. I know they dressed her up in racist "Indian" outfits every Halloween (first I wasn't old enough to know it was racist, then I thought it's not worth the argument bringing it up). I know her cringey online persona when she was 12/13 was called "PocahontasGirl", and her online "aesthetic" has always been nature and romanticized, spiritual Native American stuff. And again, I never said anything because it wasn't worth the argument, and I figured she would grow out of it when she was less immature. I had genuinely know idea it's because her parents have been lying to her.

I tried to convince her I wasn't lying, I tried to get my aunt and uncle to back me up, but May is a terror when she's mad and she was screaming and crying at me for being racist and calling her parents liars so I just left. She's blocked me everywhere since then, and my aunt called my mom to rant about me filling her daughter's head with lies and trying to break up their happy family. My mom said I should have just left it alone, I said May deserves to know who she really is, and how can my mom condone lying to her when we both know the truth? My mom said just to drop it, it isn't any of our business. That she didn't like the fact that my aunt lied either, but bringing it up now was an asshole move because it would divide the family no matter what. Either May would believe me and hate her parents, or believe her parents and hate me.

In my heart I feel like it's wrong on so many levels to adopt a mixed race child then lie about their heritage, and I think my aunt and uncle are just plain racist. But I can't blame May for not believing me and believing the people who raised her. And I truly do miss her, having known her all her life. AITA?

What are these acronyms?

Yaaayy bear boys at Fort Ross 🐻 ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ this was literally them I would know trust me. Alaska busy getting that winter rest in! Cali is just watching. Dw about it. I’m very proud of this tho :)

I don’t really have context for it, nor the forget me nots, I just think about that one art piece I did of Alaska and forget me nots sometimes. They’re very poetic and symbolic! A good pick for a flower. But yeah, I have been doing a lot of research on Alaska natives again, for this I’ve been observing physical characteristics, so his design will change into being more Yknow, like his people

Another thing I’ve been reading on towards Alaska natives (specifically more so in Sugpiaq culture) is gender traditions, because I find it to be interesting! I’m thinking on making a separate post about that tho 😌 anyways, happy Native American heritage month

Sounds like a stupid idea but what if there was a male god like creature that was 9 feet tall and had a disabled husband. God daddy helps his poor husband around the house in his wheel chair and helps him with physical therapy, and also he enjoys holding his disabled hubby in his lap👀 thoughts?

No this is cute!! For context on this one, I’m Indigenous and I’m gonna make this God Creature believe He’s a child of Wahkontah (the Great Spirit/Creator Spirit). Let’s celebrate Native American Heritage Month a bit. Lol.

Part Two

Your Husband has always referred to Himself as “The Creator’s Child”, well, at least He says that’s the translation. You struggle with learning His native tongue, and have to enroll in some online classes at the Tribal Nation’s Cultural Center. You’re shocked how low the prices are, especially for a non-member. They just smile a closed lip smile and tell you they’re happy someone wants to learn. You know they know you’re learning for someone else, but they keep it to themselves.

When you get sick, you’re worried He will leave you. After all, even if He’s not Wahkontah’s child, He is still a nearly all powerful being. Would He still want you? He never wavers in His love for you. He says He knew this would happen the whole time, but it didn’t matter. You’re still you. You have to adjust to this new way of living, and He is more kind and helpful than you could have ever imagined. Truly a benevolent God. When you lose your ability to walk, He is steadfast. You are His. He is yours. Not even death will change that.

However, one thing He has taken to holding you more often. At first you aren’t a fan, but you get used to it. He holds you in His lap any time He has a chance. When you’re eating. Watching TV. Reading a book. He has you in His lap. You two had never been intimate before as you weren’t sure how, with Him being primarily made of wood and vines, and you’re too shy to ask. He sometimes has a dozen arms or none, and there have been a few times He has forgotten to have a face for you. It’s unnerving, but you love Him just the same. When your wheelchair arrives, He seems disappointed.

“Isn’t my lap good enough?” He asks in a sad voice that reminds you of softly pattering rain.

“It’s great but I have to move around,” you explain as you touch His arm.

That’s when you kiss for the first time. He presses His soft, grass like lips to yours. You lean forward, eager for more. To touch Him. To be with Him. Whatever way that means.
