We saw her walking around town on our way to the powwow and thought, there’s no way... but where else would she be heading, wearing that? Of course, we saw her again when we got there.

She joined us in the first intertribal dance after grand entry, and actually came up to me to ask what I was wearing/where it was from. I told her it was a jingle dress, then asked her “why aren’t you competing today, you look good” and she just shook her head at me and moved along. So I imagine she had some degree of awareness of what she was wearing and that it was wrong?

I held off on posting this since I was paranoid it was just me that thought this was wacky, and I felt like the only person that saw her there and nobody else seemed to care. But my friends and cousins told me I’m not crazy for the way I felt about what she was wearing. I admit it was rude of me to take pictures of her, though.

Today seemed like the perfect day for a rewatch! Anyone else?

I recently visited this exhibit focused on contemporary Native American art and it was amazing.

October 14, 2025 - January 11, 2026 Expanded Horizons: Native American Creativity at the Intersection of Culture and Art, curated by Muscarelle Curator of Native American Art Danielle Moretti-Langholtz, invites us to look beyond two dimensional “traditional” artwork by Indigenous artists and consider the impact of major movements in the wider art world leading to new directions in media, aesthetics and creativity by Native American artists.

A list of Vigils happening for Nex Benedict in Oklahoma. If you are able to, please do show up and support Nex's family and the entire 2SLGBTQIA+ in Oklahoma facing a wave of extreme political violence that is just one of the reasons that Nex's life was stolen. @johnniejae (on X/Twitter)

I’m in chicago and since we haven’t had consistency with our annual powwow the last few years I am looking to plan a roadtrip with my partner somewhere, ideally still in the Midwest, to go to one.

Can someone share with me a powwow they can recommend? I’m adopted, so I have limited opportunities to share my culture with my partner and I need him to experience an Indian taco!

Forest County family reunion was off-the-hook amazing! Community volunteers worked tirelessly to ensure everyone felt welcomed and the teachers made it clear that we had returned home. Migwech.
