@melissabattles: As historic flooding affects communities across New Mexico and the Navajo Nation, a conversation with a Navajo coworker has stayed with me when she shared details of wisdom her elders have passed to her ❤️ Her words made me reflect on the importance of respecting Indigenous knowledge, protecting sacred lands, caring for wildlife, and remembering our responsibility to future generations. I’m sharing her perspective with respect, not claiming to speak for Diné people or explain the cause of the flooding. Praying for everyone affected. 🙏 #NewMexicoFlooding #NavajoNation #IndigenousVoices #ProtectSacredLands #EnvironmentalAwareness
A’nuche is a Ute indigenous led organization which is standing up against the reduction of the Bears Ears National Monument. There’s more to the balance of Mother Earth. Ai, uranium rare earth minerals extraction and nuclear energy are not part of this balance. Mother earth is trying to balance itself.
