Laws of Matriarch

Should we really shake things up by pointing out that white folks have been drinking while pregnant for hundreds, maybe even thousands, of years? And today, they might have more access to alcohol than many of our people who are struggling in extreme poverty? 🤔  If that’s the case, it makes you wonder how many of the laws in Canada were crafted by white men who don’t understand our reality.  The old stereotype is crumbling:   Researchers have found that Native Americans actually drink less than white people. It’s frustrating how these misconceptions persist while we’re just trying to live our lives and care for our families.  But there’s hope. As we share our truths and challenge these outdated beliefs, we can pave the way for understanding and respect. We deserve to be heard and to break free from the chains of these stereotypes. Let’s keep pushing for change and lifting each other up.

I had this dream where our houses were all wrecked by a hurricane, even my ex’s place was gone too. His truck was broken down because he never took care of it, so he just left it on the side of the road. I didn’t want to use my van because I’m always low on cash for gas, so I had a little chat with his truck and, to my surprise, it started right up! 😂 I just hoped he wouldn’t see me using it and get angry like he usually does. If he did, I’d have to make up some excuse about running out of gas just to keep the peace. But you know what? It felt like a good dream about starting fresh and moving on. ❤️

Sim’O’get Lax’Ha’get,   The highest chief, our guiding light,   God is in us, God walks beside us,   Our ancestors whisper wisdom in the night.   Respect the spirit, let it flow,   In every breath, let love grow. ❤️   The animals and plants share their voice,   In nature's embrace, we find our choice.   They speak to our spirits, a sacred dance,   In the heart of the forest, we find our chance.   Every thought we hold, a prayer sent high,   Carried by the wind, to the vast, open sky.   In the stillness, we hear their call,   In every moment, we’re one with it all.   So let us walk gently on this earth,   Honoring our roots, celebrating our worth.   With each step, we honor our past,   In unity and love, our spirits will last.
