I didn't need the rib, I had the spine.
Last weekend, Last year, I was in Timmins, ON dancing at Northern College pow wow. Monday afternoon, last year, after the pow wow my ex hu?b**d came and got me & took back to Wawa, ON to his house. The next day, he drove me back to Netmizaaggamig Nishnaabe Pic Mobert, ON my home.
How time flies....
Experience from then to now. I did it...... I did it. Now image next year.

#anishnaabe #WhiteFeathers
I sent you a little white feather
I placed it right there in your way
I wrapped it in love with a message
to let you know you’ll be okay
I drew you a colourful rainbow
It followed your car for a while
I made a spectacular rainbow
I hoped it would show me your smile
I flew down a beautiful robin
It landed right there on your ledge
I prayed he would give you the strength
to push yourself back from the edge
#spirit #light
I lite a candle today.....

As I am grounding myself for this evening event. I envisioned this:
I found myself sitting with my legs entangled within themselves and as so my arms. I am sitting in the ground and my arms, legs became roots. I am apart of the tree of life and I am rooted.
And I wasn't alone

#Minneapolis #powwow celebrates belonging for #TwoSpirit, #queer community
#TwoSpiritPowwow invites natives to dress and dance on their own terms.

"Em Matson leaned intently over a long table to arrange the delicate pieces of water lily appliqué.
"Amid the mechanical whir of sewing machines and the lively chatter during a community regalia making night, Matson zeroed in on the task at hand: finishing their ribbon pants in time for the Two Spirit Powwow.
"On Saturday, New Native Theater will sponsor Minneapolis' second annual 'Reclaiming Our Identities' Two Spirit Powwow, part of a burgeoning movement of powwows across the country that honor Two Spirit and #indigiqueer (Indigenous and queer) people.
"'I can't wait to see everybody turn out. I know that if you come specifically to this powwow, it means you support our community,' said Wase Mannidu Ikwe, a Two Spirit person of the Rocky Boy Chippewa Cree Tribe. 'It's nice to see our allies. As Two Spirits, we make large impacts in the native community. We are valid.'
"'Two Spirit' is an umbrella term derived from the #Anishnaabe '#NiizhManidoowag' (literally translated as "two spirits") that describes native people who exist outside the #GenderBinary and hold sacred roles in their communities.
"Popularized by activists in the 1990s, the term honors multiplicity within native conceptions of gender identity and spirituality. It also reflects a pre-colonial legacy of gender diversity that is being reclaimed today.
"'Prior to European #colonization, #GenderDiversity was the norm for many tribes. Gender was based on your roles and responsibilities, not what you looked like,' said Matson, a Two Spirit of the Sault Ste. Marie Ojibwe and one of the organizers of Minneapolis' Two Spirit Powwow.
"In the months leading up to the powwow, organizers have hosted regalia-making nights for local Two Spirit and indigiqueer folks to make ceremonial clothing that authentically represents their identities.
"'Our goal was for you to come and make whatever makes you feel comfortable,' said organizer Beth Seidl of the White Earth Band of Chippewa. 'We wanted everyone to feel safe, without any chance of someone coming by and saying, 'You're a boy. Why are you making a ribbon skirt?' if that's not how they identify."

And there were 2 words in Ojibwe, I didn't know how to say in English.
1st Ojibwe word Dakaa
(long "a" sound at the end) it means, a person who stirs the canoe, the one who sits in the back person. Still don't know????.
2nd a bird Ojibwe word Gawii gawii-ish. I did learn this one the bird is called Whiskey Jack. Huh! Cool eh!
My daughter is French bilingual, she didn't know how to say butterfly in English either....lol and the world turns.
I'm free from the unknown and now I know. I also have been here before. Experience of what to do next is already a well-worn pathway.
I love this saying
"It's hardships that strengthen the spirit and tears water the soul" their both needed.
Saw this video on TikTok, so I duet it... soon Wab will be calling all medicine dancers.
I was asked to sit with them tomorrow...... (happy dance time) he asked for me by name.
I actually did it.
The creation said your not drowning, stand up and walk. To the man's surprise, the water wasn't deep. It's only when creation guides him that he can stand. have trust and believe that we are guided to our best greater self.
And remember he said without change nothing can grow.
