“A woman in harmony with her spirit is like a river flowing. She goes where she will, without pretense, and arrives at her destination prepared to be herself and only herself.” - Maya Angelou ✨ __________ Photo by: @christen_leticia (Navajo) __________ Please use #nativewomenswilderness or DM to be featured.

“One trend we have noticed, with growing apprehension, is the ease with which the language of decolonization has been superficially adopted into education and other social sciences, supplanting prior ways of talking about social justice, critical methodologies, or approaches which decenter settler perspectives. Decolonization, which we assert is a distinct project from other civil and human rights-based social justice projects, is far too often subsumed into the directives of these projects, with no regard for how decolonization wants something different than those forms of justice. ✊ [The misuse of decolonization] is a form of enclosure, dangerous in how it domesticates decolonization. It is also a foreclosure, limiting in how it recapitulates dominant theories of social change. … When metaphor invades decolonization, it kills the very possibility of decolonization; it recenters whiteness, it resettles theory, it extends innocence to the settler, it entertains a settler future. Decolonize (a verb) and decolonization (a noun) cannot easily be grafted onto pre-existing discourses/frameworks, even if they are critical, even if they are anti-racist, even if they are justice frameworks. ✊ When we write about decolonization, we are not offering it as a metaphor; it is not an approximation of other experiences of oppression. Decolonization is not a swappable term for other things we want to do to improve our societies and schools. Decolonization doesn’t have a synonym. ✊ There is a long and bumbled history of non-Indigenous peoples making moves to alleviate the impacts of colonization. The too-easy adoption of decolonizing discourse … is just one part of that history and it taps into pre-existing tropes that get in the way of more meaningful potential alliances. ✊ …[I]n our view, decolonization in the settler colonial context must involve the repatriation of land simultaneous to the recognition of how land and relations to land have always already been differently understood and enacted; that is, ALL of the land, and not just symbolically. This is precisely why decolonization is necessarily unsettling, especially across lines of solidarity.” (Tuck & Yang 2012)

My first 5ks were with my grandmother her long legs always just ahead as I tried to keep up, 6 years old, wondering how I could ever maintain a pace like hers. For more than 50 years she’s raised children, first from her womb, three boys. Later, strangers’ children, sad and sick in hospital beds, their favorite nurse. And even after all that, her son’s children, me, a daughter she never birthed but now bears. And I find myself wondering how I could ever sustain a life like hers. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ >> Visiting my grandma for her 83rd birthday later this week and can’t wait to see my family and run around salt lake!
