The work that i have done in the National Park service is tremendous. It spans an entire career of the most mink work that i think i have ever done, is to sit and listen to the people to whom this continent belongs. When i listen and hear the pain of the taking of land, taking of quu culture, taking of language, i begin to think about what that means for me. I have a dear friend. Her name is faith spottedeagle. She does tremendous work around generational trauma and healing in indian country. What she tells me is that healing will take place when we come together as a nation.
