At the time, I posted this split screen of the stacks of face shields juxtaposed with some of the letters (we received hundreds) from school children supporting us.

“Dear heroes of the environment…”

Oceti Sakowin for life. ✊🏼

I remember the very first time that I walked onto the sacred grounds of #OcetiSakowin. My best friend & her bf brought me to the Main Camp. We arrived there fairly late. Sometime around midnight. We stayed briefly then left. We got a room for the night just down the road from camp. I was so EXCITED!

Hi! Here’s my third inspired take from Black Bear’s and Simms’ “Otokahekaġapi, First Beginnings.” There would be nothing without the first powers giving of themselves. #ocetisakowin #lakota #dakota #greatplains #watercolor #creation #sun #moon #water #earth #stone

Hi! I was inspired to paint a watercolor after reading Black Bear’s and Simms’ “Otokahekaġapi (First Beginnings): Sioux Creation Story.” #ocetisakowin #lakota #dakota #greatplains #creation #warercolor #blue

Hi! I was inspired by “Otokahekaġapi (First Beginnings): Sioux Creation Story” by Ben Black Bear, Jr. (author) and Thomas Simms (illustrator). He’s my watercolor of Íŋyaŋ (Stone) giving his blood and breath for water and air. #ocetisakowin #lakota #creation #selfsacrifice #midsummer

The project threatens sacred Pe’ Sla, archaeological sites, water, and ecosystems. 50501SD stands in solidarity: the #BlackHills are not for sale, not for drilling, not for destruction. 2/2

Hi! I’m reading Taylor Keen’s “Rediscovering Turtle Island,” 2024. I even got a Lakota place name out of it. It’s a great contemporary read about indigenous occupation and remembered places. #turtleisland #indigenoushomeland #ocetisakowin #lakota #greatplains #traditionalhomelands

Hi! Check out this Ochéti Shakówiŋ map of North Dakota. Download a hi-rez map at thefirstscout.blogspot.com. Look at the Ocheti Shakowin Territory Maps. #ocetisakowin #sevencouncilfires #lakota #dakota #sioux #northamerica #beautifulcountry
