"This world is full of so many possibilities. Each living thing has an entirely unique experience. The sights they see, the sounds they hear. The lives they live are so complicated... and so simple because you're going to be something and someone Remarkable." - Rose Quartz. There are times where we feel like we don't belong here or we just don't fit in but that's ok to feel that way cause you won't stay that way forever. there are people there for you and you can talk to anyone you trust cause the world wouldn't be the same without you.

No matter how misplaced you feel you always belong somewhere, where you belong to a school or home there's someone always thinking about you and someone always loves you no matter who you are.

The Tachi Yokut youth is here in Malibu California at the Wishtoyo Chumash Village learning how to respect the Ocean and the earth, were sleeping in Huts. PS I'm the one in khaki shorts, long sleeve and the long black socks :)

Native Pride Summer

Whether it’s hitting the powwow trail or pulling in canoe journey, summer is a great time to connect with culture. Check out how Evynn shows his Native pride and connects with culture.

This summer, my fellow Haliwa youth and I have been wrapping up our Coming of Age ceremony. We’ve fasted to have a prayer night, make prayer bundles, and walk our tribal land in the dark. My ceremony sisters and I woke up at 4:30 to do a prayer walk on our ceremonial land. We walked a mile with our staff to visit Panacea (Healing Waters) Springs and offered tobacco to the rocks. We’ve been visiting other tribes, working with our organization NCNAYO, going to UNITY, dancing, praying, and so much more. We’re truly understanding what it means to be a part of the 7th generation.

This year tribal canoe journey was “Paddle to Puyallup: Homoring our Medicine”. This picture was taken in front of my canoe before leaving for the final landing in Puyallup. Canoe journey is not only about pulling in a canoe and reach a destination, it is a real healing journey in which we connect we our culture, nature and ourselves. I paddled on my Quileute canoe, the sea wolf, in which I’m a pacer. I’m proud to be Quileute and to be able to say that we are a drug and alcohol free canoe. During canoe journey I shared important moments with my relatives, met new friends, sang songs and danced, learned from my elders and honored my ancestors. Canoe journey helps me on my everyday life because it makes me stronger and more connected to my culture and inner self. I can’t wait until next year!

We went on a hike and before we started walking we had to pray for the land. We had to give back with this tobacco and in return we could walk its trails without disturbing the nature. In my picture i'm holding tobacco and the background is nothing but beautiful growung plants.we must pray for our earth everyday, and thank her for letting us see what beauty she brings. That is one of the ways i protect this precious earth, is by praying!
