#WoundedKneeMassacre The white soldiers massacred women and children. WOMEN and CHILDREN. It was not a battle. 💔 This deranged regime just gave the soldiers who murdered defenseless WOMEN and CHILDREN posthumous medals of honor. This is another atrocity perpetrated upon the Indigenous Peoples of Turtle Island. Current atrocities brought by the department of war & DHS… like bombing unidentified men in boats, disappearing people with no due-process, terrorizing families then separating them, torturing detained human beings, allowing people to die in detention. The sadism and cruelty of this regime knows no bounds; it’s in the white supremacist DNA, going all the way back to the colonizers. #WoundedKnee #WaterIsLife #MniWiconi #StandingRock #LandBack #HonorTheTreaties #GhostDance #BuryMyHeartAtWoundedKnee ✊🏽🪶🦬 I walked this sacred ground in 2017. Where they tried to hide. The mass grave. The spirits still.

Always an inspiration, @patriciamichaels. Watch her acceptance speech as the 2024 winner of The Indigenous Fashion Collective Designer of the Year. For over 20 years, Patricia Michaels has been producing one-of-a-kind haute couture that transcends cultures and defies fashion trends. Growing up in Santa Fe, New Mexico, she was surrounded by beauty—in culture, landscape, and art, all which greatly influenced her design aesthetic. Her Native American culture is deeply rooted in New Mexico, and as a child, she spent a lot of time at Taos Pueblo where many of her family, including her grandparents, lived. In this majestic, untouched terrain, Patricia received a unique education—the environment became her teacher, and with the help of her elders, she learned to respect and honor the process of working with her hands and heart. #tifc #indigenousfashion #Indigenous #throwback #nativeamerican #fashion #designer #pueblo
