I have been to few Rezs and know how it is. Why are Native Americans still treated like war criminals! It's insanity, the largest genocide ever committed in the history of humanity. The children of indigenous peoples do NOT have the same opportunities. When will this war end? We must do what we can to have all people treated equally.
This info is about Canadian indigenous peoples but it is true for native American in The U. S.
About 7 Ways to Make a Difference for First Nations Kids
1 in 4 First Nations kids graduate from high school.
There are more First Nations kids in the child welfare system than there were at the height of residential schools by a factor of 3.
And yet, the federal government gives less funding for critical services to these children.
There are solutions to these problems and equitable funding would help make those solutions a reality for First Nations kids.

Feeling very down today
the past gets in my way
sadness pain and anger
will not let me go
I let go of them
and there is always more
when I think I have remembered
there is always more
when I think that I have grieved
there is always more
I am at a loss
I am in pain
physically
mentally
emotionally
medication
meditation
prayer
positive thinking
yoga
art
music
my daughters
restore my heart
