"Grandma how do you deal with pain?"
"With your hands, dear. When you do it with your mind, the pain hardens even more."
“With your hands, grandma?"
"Yes, yes. Our hands are the antennas of our Soul. When you move them by sewing, cooking, painting, touching the earth or sinking them into the earth, they send signals of caring to the deepest part of you and your Soul calms down. This way she doesn't have to send pain anymore to show it.
"Are hands really that important?"
"Yes my girl. Think of babies: they get to know the world thanks to their touch.
When you look at the hands of older people, they tell more about their lives than any other part of the body.
Everything that is made by hand, so it is said, is made with the heart because it really is like this: hands and heart are connected.
Think of lovers: When their hands touch, they love each other in the most sublime way."
"My hands grandma... how long since I used them like that!"
"Move them my love, start creating with them and everything in you will move.
The pain will not pass away. But it will be the best masterpiece. And it won't hurt as much anymore, because you managed to embroider your Essence.”

In the heart of Minnesota, Lakota chef Sean Sherman is revolutionizing Indigenous cuisine, going far beyond simply preserving recipes. At his groundbreaking restaurant Owamni, traditional dishes like cedar-stewed rabbit and chokecherry sauce showcase the sophisticated flavors that thrived before colonization.
Sherman's mission extends deeper than the kitchen. He's challenging the prevalence of "oppression foods" like fry bread - foods born from government-issued commodities during times of forced relocation. Instead, he champions the return to ancestral ingredients and cooking methods that sustained Indigenous peoples for generations.
Through The Sioux Chef, his culinary organization, Sherman is addressing the crisis of food deserts on reservations while reviving knowledge of wild plants, traditional agriculture, and land-based cooking techniques that were nearly lost to history.
His work represents more than just bringing back old recipes - it's about rebuilding entire food systems that were erased, and showing how Indigenous cuisine can lead the way toward healthier, more sustainable eating.

The Crazy Horse Memorial in South Dakota is one of the world’s largest mountain carvings in progress.
The top image shows the full design plan — a Native American warrior named Crazy Horse sitting on a horse and pointing ahead, honoring Native pride and history.
The bottom image shows what has been completed so far — the face of Crazy Horse, which was finished in 1998.

Even though the full statue is still being built, it already shows how big and powerful this tribute will be. This monument stands as a symbol of Native American culture, strength, and spirit.

A powerful reminder of history and heritage. 🪶

"Wes Studi is a native American Cherokee actor and Vietnam veteran.
You may have seen him in a few movies such as ""Last of the Mohicans"" or ""Dances with Wolves"". Aside from the movies, he is an activist for both Native Americans and wounded combat veterans.
His first language was Cherokee an Iroquoian language and he didn't learn English until he started grade school.
His native language is an endangered language.
In fact, most of the indigenous languages in the Americas are endangered.
More than one thousand separate languages still spoken in the Americas and most of these languages will be extinct by the end of the next century.
Thank you for your service Wes!"

Apache society was distinguished by a marked individualism, which deeply influenced its leadership structure. The chiefs, far from exercising absolute power, saw their authority limited to war contexts and incursions for loot. This restriction on formal leadership contrasted with the remarkable influence of shamans, who played a central role in the spiritual and practical life of the community. Their rituals ranged from seeking success in hunting and protection in war, to healing the sick and guiding puberty ceremonies, especially significant for young women. The family constituted the core of Apache society, strengthened by kinship ties that promoted cooperation essential for survival. The social structure was organized in matriarchal clans, where the line of lineage was traced through the mother. Warfare, both defensive and offensive, was a constant in Apache life, and their warrior skill, combined with a deep knowledge of the territory, allowed them to withstand for a long time the expansion of settlers. In short, Apache culture was characterized by a complex interaction between individualism, situational leadership, the spiritual influence of shamans, and strong family cohesion, all framed in a context of constant adaptation and resistance

Comanche Warriors: Masters of the Horse and Guardians of the Plains 🐎🪶
In the 18th and 19th centuries, as settlers moved westward across North America, they encountered fierce resistance from Indigenous tribes. Among the most formidable were the Comanche, a tribe that halted expansion into the southern plains with unmatched skill and strategy.
Masters of the Horse:
While many tribes adapted to the horse, the Comanche perfected its use, transforming from an obscure mountain people into legendary warriors and masters of horseback combat. Unlike other tribes like the Sioux or Cheyenne, who dismounted to fight, Comanche warriors stayed mounted, using their speed and agility to overwhelm their enemies.
Terror on the Plains:
Known for their fierce raids, lightning-fast attacks, and advanced riding techniques, the Comanche earned a reputation as the most feared riders of the plains. Their mastery of horses reshaped their society and gave them a critical edge in battles against settlers and rival tribes.
The Comanche’s ability to dominate the southern plains for decades is a testament to their resourcefulness, courage, and innovative use of the horse.
