My article with The Texas Observer is now online! The title means “return to the land of many houses,” which is our (Lipan Apache) word for home. In this article, I write about the rematriation of an elder (my relative) who lived in KÍŁÁÁHÍÍ about 750 years ago. www.texasobserver.org/lipan-apache...

Screenshot of article lede and a photo of Darcie’s back as she looks over the traditional burial ground in Presidio Texas. Lede says “An Elder is restored to the Lipan Apache people more than 750 years after her death”.

In other words, when there’s been conflict, it’s ’cause other people have a problem with me. I don’t have a problem with myself. This is a very personal thing, of course. I only speak from my own experience.

Growing up, my parents were very loving and supportive and taught me that I am both, not half. I am grateful for that.

As a biracial person (Lipan Apache/Irish American), I’ve personally never felt “torn between two worlds” internally, but I have felt excluded by others. Bullying was bad growing up. Ah, the struggle for acceptance! I make my own way these days. Part of being older & wiser.

My beautiful parents <3
