One of my deepest darkest worries in life is having a loved one die in fear and under the hand of hate. This is the thought I keep coming back to while reading, learning, and understanding how federal laws; colonial laws, limit Tribal protections of women. These women, all of them, had their last experience on Earth in fear. And there is over five hundred years of layered infrastructure that contributed and continues to contribute to these fearful deaths.

Daisy Protecting Our Indigenous Sisters

Birds unify heaven and earth; hummingbirds bring love, joy, and healing

Blue is our tears and blue is the water that cleans our wounds

Red dresses symbolize Jaime Black's expression of grief we all share

Pointing to religion overshadowing everything and primordial man fighting

I give you my mother's handwriting, faithfully strong-willed

I give you a fierce bear claw, deliberate in action

I give you the medicine and playfulness of a Quaking Aspen

I give you my companion, Daisy to keep watch and to warn you of danger
