Here is a breathing exercise we can employ as we approach the end of the year:
Let's thank and invest in all of the caregivers who are upholding our families and communities this year. You worked to support us before this year, and you will do so in the future, too. We must support you in turn.
November is Native American Heritage Month!
Here are a few resources we’d like to share
1. All My Relations Podcast
www.allmyrelationspodcast.com/podcast/episode/4a4fe11b/thankstaking-or-thanksgiving
This episode talks with Wampanoag scholars Paula Peters and Linda Coombs, who tell us the real story of Thanksgiving, from an Indigenous Perspective.
2. Native Land
native-land.ca
Mission: We strive to map Indigenous lands in a way that changes, challenges, and improves the way people see the history of their countries and peoples.
3. Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women USA
mmiwusa.org
MMIW USA’s number one mission is to bring our missing home and help the families of the murdered cope and support them through the process of grief.
Learning is a process, let’s continue educating ourselves, raising awareness, and honouring Native Americans, even beyond this month. What are resources you’d like to share?
