Last year's travels

04/19/2026

Across the United States, Indigenous communities continue to resolutely oppose development projects that threaten their sacred sites and ancestral lands. These areas are not merely natural resources; they are vibrant symbols of culture, spirituality, and heritage. Protecting them is synonymous with safeguarding cultural identity. Tribal nations and activists have joined forces to combat mining and pipeline projects that encroach upon traditional territories, viewing this struggle not only as a legal battle but also as a spiritual responsibility to honor ancestors and preserve the land for future generations. This movement underscores that land is not simply property; it is sacred, alive, and integral to community well-being. Each individual has a role in protecting the Earth; by listening to and supporting Indigenous voices, we can contribute to the preservation of these sacred lands.

The Last Look at a Lakota Warrior’s Camp 🪶
Tongue River, Montana — November 1880
This haunting photograph by L.A. Huffman captures a moment that would soon fade into history — Chief Spotted Eagle’s Camp, standing proudly on the open plains.
Chief Spotted Eagle was no ordinary leader. Just four years earlier, he led about 180 brave Lakota warriors in the Battle of the Little Bighorn, one of the most famous victories in Native resistance.
A Way of Life Near Its End
The photograph shows more than a camp — it shows a way of life.
The Lakota Sioux were true people of the plains, following the buffalo across vast grasslands. The buffalo gave them everything — food, shelter, clothing, and tools. Every part of the animal was used with respect and gratitude.
Owning land was a foreign concept to them; the earth could not belong to one person — it belonged to all.
This camp was among the last places where tipis made from real buffalo hides still stood, glowing in the low winter sun.
The End of Freedom
At that time, around 1,700 Sioux people, including Spotted Eagle’s band, lived near Fort Keogh. For a short while, they experienced a fragile freedom — hunting, gathering, and living close to their traditions.
But by June 1881, that freedom was gone. The U.S. military forced them onto five steamboats and transported them to the Standing Rock Reservation in Dakota Territory.
This photograph became more than an image — it became a time capsule, preserving the last breath of a proud, free people before their world was changed forever.

In the early morning on Dec. 15, 1890, Sitting Bull (or Tatanka-Iyotanka), the Hunkpapa Lakota chieftain and medicine man, was killed by Indian Police during an arrest attempt at his home near the Grand River on the Standing Rock Indian Reservation. During the arrest, a scuffle ensued and Sitting Bull was shot and killed, along with several others involved.
The order for Sitting Bull's arrest came from U.S. Indian Agent James McLaughlin, who feared the chief's influence and the growing Ghost Dance movement. The Ghost Dance brought hope to many Lakotas after the extensive loss of their territory and way of life. Sitting Bull refused to denounce the movement among his followers and aid the U.S. government in its suppression efforts.
Sitting Bull was buried on Dec. 17, 1890, in the post cemetery at Fort Yates. In 1953, his remains were reinterred at a site near Mobridge, SD, where a monument stands today. In his book "Sitting Bull, Prisoner of War," Dennis C. Pope wrote, "Sitting Bull remained faithful to his heritage until the end of his life. Despite starvation, imprisonment, and the loss of his land, the chief continued to exemplify the virtues of generosity and courage and to fight for what he thought was best for his people."

18,000 Years on the Land — The Blackfeet Nation of Montana 🪶
For millennia, the Blackfeet Nation has lived in harmony with the plains, mountains, and rivers of Montana. Their oral histories have long told of a presence in the region stretching back thousands of years — and in 2022, modern science confirmed it.
Groundbreaking DNA evidence revealed that the Blackfeet’s ancestors have called Montana home for at least 18,000 years — far earlier than written records or archaeological assumptions had suggested. This discovery not only validates their oral traditions but also highlights the power of indigenous knowledge in understanding human history.
For 18 millennia, generations of Blackfeet people thrived here, developing complex social systems, rich cultural practices, and sustainable ways of life intimately tied to the land. Their continuity challenges conventional narratives that have often underestimated the longevity and resilience of indigenous civilizations.
This revelation is more than science; it is a celebration of identity, heritage, and stewardship. It confirms what the Blackfeet have always known: they are the caretakers of these lands, shaping Montana’s culture, ecology, and history for tens of thousands of years..
Stories like this remind us that history is not only in books or artifacts, but alive in stories, traditions, and lived experiences passed down through generations. By listening to these voices, we honor a history far richer and older than previously imagined.

This image carries the voice of generations.
The pain. The strength. The warning.
A people without a voice lose their future.
A people who stand together reclaim it.
If this speaks to your soul, don’t scroll.
Like. Share. Speak.
🪶 Our ancestors are watching

The Medicine Wheel is a profound symbol in Native American philosophy, representing the circle of life, the four directions, and the interconnectedness of all beings. It serves as a guide for achieving balance, healing, and spiritual growth, teaching generations to live harmoniously with nature and community. Each direction—East for beginnings, South for growth, West for reflection, and North for wisdom—highlights the cyclical nature of life and the importance of learning at every stage. The Medicine Wheel emphasizes the necessity of aligning body, mind, spirit, and emotions to attain health and happiness. Beyond its philosophical significance, it offers practical guidance for living with respect and purpose, encouraging practices such as reflection, gratitude, and maintaining balance in daily life. Ultimately, the Medicine Wheel imparts timeless wisdom, reminding us that every step, season, and relationship contributes to a greater circle of existence, fostering a path of balance, respect, and harmony with all that surrounds us.

Respect for the Earth is respect for our own being. From her we are born, by her we are nourished, and through her living breath we are sustained.
