My Wish For You All

It's been a difficult year for me. I admit that I struggled with my mental and physical health and with poverty in 2024.

But it's a new year, a new day, and I'm on the mend.

My Čuwé (older Sister) and Miwákáŋyéja (nibling) funded refilling my prescription for my mental health meds in November and I already have five drafts in the pipeline as a result.

First up is a piece on the unprecedented advances for NDN country in the United States during the Biden administration for The Big Picture and a piece on Indigenous American foods.

Ómakȟa Tȟéča Oíyokiphi—Ohserá:se—a Happy New Year! My wish for you all:

Itaŋcan kin kiçi niunpi ni.

Aiá:wen's Ahiaia'taté:riste Ne Shonkwa'iatison Aesata'karí:teke, Aiesatshennonní:hake, Tánon Aión:nise' Ó:ni Aiesatenro'seraká:teke.

May fate favor you in this coming year.

Philámayaye, Niawen'kó:wa (Thank you in Lakȟótiyapi and Kanien'kéha) for your support, kind words, and encouragement this past year.
