I stand beside all the multitudes of Indigenous Peoples who are mixed race. You are Indigenous. Who maybe are Black Natives because ebony and mahogany ancestors intermarried as they witnessed each other's beauty. You are Indigenous. Who only have oral history of their Indigenous ancestry because the government erased our people and terminated our tribal statuses long, long ago. You are Indigenous. Who fight every day for the people because even if they don't "look native," they are native and will go to the mat for our cultures and people. You are Indigenous. Who might not be brown but they sure as hell are down because they have ancestors to honor. You are Indigenous. Who have a hard enough time claiming who they are because colonization has destroyed our languages and identities. You are Indigenous. Who are working hard every day to be proud of who they are in a world that has called us inferior for 500 years. You are Indigenous. Keep claiming who you are relatives. There are so many of us who stand beside and behind you as our lost relatives continue to inhibit our continuation as a people. Keep claiming who you are. Don't let anyone take that away from you. Because the day we forget, is the day the genocide is complete. You are Indigenous. ❤️

This is a difficult post for me - There are people in our lives that we never imagine not being there . Cliff “ Grandfather Winterfox” is one of those people . Cliff took the Blue Road & crossed over October 1st, 2020 at the age of 79. He gave 13 years of service through mentoring, ceremony & education to incarcerated men in the TDCJ Native American Program . He understood that to “ sacrifice” is to “ make sacred”, and that the greatest gift we can give on this Earth is one of Service . We were a great team , knowing , supporting ( and sometimes pointing out) each other’s strengths and weaknesses. We always felt we received as much as much as we gave and having the opportunity to share it with other volunteers just made it that much more special .
I was asked to volunteer at a time when they didn’t allow a woman to volunteer alone at the men’s unit . No one I asked would go with me - lamenting to Cliff about it , he volunteered without hesitation. He always showed up , in good times & bad - even when his physical body would rebel on him , his heart would always win the battle and Grandmother June would get him there ❤️ We should all be so lucky to have someone in our lives as supportive as Grandmother June Wolf Cares for All.
Thank you my friend , I love you and I know that you meant so much to so many, and so many meant so much to you . Of all the years and all the ceremonies , the one thing I admired most is how you would put your hands on the shoulders of whomever you were smudging, look them square in the eyes, and speak to them from an open and loving heart. It didn’t matter if it was just us or there were 100 men lined up waiting in the midst of prison chaos , you never wavered . We should all take a lesson from that . Gratitude for all you have been and all you will be as our revered ancestor ❤️
