wind cave national park in the black hills is a sacred site for the lakota. and just like mount rushmore, it s controlled by the national park service. obviously, the landscapes that became national parks have been managed by native folks for millennia. but when these parks were created, suddenly native folks weren t allowed to hunt and practice sacred rituals there. that s recently changed, but they still have to ask permission. let me get this straight. folks were forcibly removed off their sacred land so i could have a picnic. ugh. and if you think i have a problem with that, meet nick estes of the lower sioux nation. how many more generations have to have their history taken from them, incarcerated? nick is an activist and academic. he was at standing rock. he has a podcast called the red
sent to san antonio i was in a power chair at the time and i had a manual wheelchair. my parents did not have any way to get me around to the gave us a wheelchair accessible van. that was the biggest thing for me be the first thing we did was go grocery shopping and i love just getting away from the hospital. how important is this for you and your colleagues and others who have been wounded in the line of duty and in-service or country? and to have these type of groups help you and for us, for americans for us folks weren t watching right now to be able to help you? i mean, the biggest thing with the simplify america s fund is they treat you like family. so you never feel like a burden to them if you have to call your case manager or anything like that. they are always there but does not matter what time of day it is briefing to talk to somebody they get back to it does not matter if it s the weekend or anything like that. they just treat you as family.
