Sage 🌿 Karahkwinetha ☀️

Just to be clear, none of this is meant to discredit the people who’ve been doing the work of calling out pretendians.That work is heavy, emotional, time-consuming, and often thankless and it takes incredible courage to stand up for our communities, our ancestors, and our future generations. So to everyone who has been researching, speaking out, sharing receipts, holding people accountable, and protecting our spaces, Nia:wen! You’re doing work that shouldn’t have to fall on us, but you still step up for all of us.

Mexico looks good on us 🇲🇽🦞 March 2026

From Mrs. Snow Seneca Nation. “Many, many years ago, the corn, one of the Three Sisters, wanted to make something different. She made the moccasin and the salt boxes, the mats, and the face. She wanted to do something different so the Great Spirit gave her permission. So she made the little people out of corn husk and they were to roam the earth so that they would bring brotherhood and contentment to the Iroquois tribe. But she made one that was very, very beautiful. This beautiful corn person, you might call her, went into the woods and saw herself in a pool. She saw how beautiful she was and she became very vain and naughty. That began to make the people very unhappy and so the Great Spirit decided that wasn’t what she was to do. She didn’t pay attention to his warning, so the last time the messenger came and told her that she was going to have her punishment. Her punishment would be that she’d have no face, she would not converse with the Senecas or the birds or the animals. She’d roam the earth forever, looking for something to do to gain her face back again. So that’s why we don’t put any faces on the husk dolls.” Incredible design by @tishaannthompson and @k.francisbrand Belt @fireloomcreations MUA: Photography @t7oakes @kdawgdabeast

This poem came out of my law class, where we’ve been reading excerpts of “If This Is Your Land, Where Are Your Stories?” by J. Edward Chamberlin. The book asks a simple but destabilizing question: if you claim land, where are your stories? Not your paperwork. Not your borders. Your stories. Reading it while watching Indigenous peoples face displacement, border enforcement, and ICE activity on our own territories made that question impossible to ignore. Settler law treats land as property, something to own, divide, police, and deport from. But long before fences and files, land was story, law, memory, responsibility. Onkwehonwe are constantly treated as strangers on lands that remember us. That contradiction is not accidental. It is structural. This poem is my response. Law school doesn’t just teach cases. Sometimes it exposes the violence inside the narratives we’ve normalized about ownership and belonging. Acknowledging the text and the classroom discussions that sparked this. The question isn’t new. The discomfort might be.

F*ck 🧊

F*CK ICE! Song: Ieiakwawennaiénthos More to come. I’m just slow.

I’m still carrying so much gratitude from walking in the First People’s Indigenous Fashion Show @firstpeoplesfashionshow in Denver. Each step on that runway felt like an honour, wrapped in the vision, care, and brilliance of the designers who trusted me with their work. I’m also so grateful to the organizers @ka_naatamakayt for inviting me, welcoming me in, and putting together such a beautiful production, everything about the show felt intentional, powerful, and unforgettable. I had the privilege of walking for @tishaannthompson and @k.francisbrand , whose garments were nothing short of breathtaking Haudenosaunee resilience. I walked for @innerlust in a stunning white lace piece, soft, powerful, and unforgettable, even without a video to hold it. I also walked for @bineshi_ikwewag @amari_larocque , a true baddie, wearing a bold ice queen look that made me feel fierce and unapologetic. And with Miss Melrene of @nativedivacreations , I stepped into something that pushed me beyond my comfort zone, riskier, braver, and deeply empowering. My makeup, miss Olivia worked absolute magic making me feel radiant and confident from the inside out. Love ya boo @makeupppbyolie . More than anything, I’m grateful for the connections formed, the relationships nurtured, and the shared space of Indigenous creativity, strength, and beauty that I’ll carry with me long after Denver. Pictures to come 🖤 #fpfs #firstpeoplesfashioncollective #firstpeoplesfashionshow #firstpeoplesfestival #Indigenousfashion nativefashion nativeluxury
