Since then I've been making some baby steps to learn more and engage more, but I'm hopeful that 2023 will be a time when I came plunge in much deeper. I'm starting the year off by reading Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz's An People's History of the United States but also am hoping to get back into learning the () language.

I occasionally play with the aka , mostly to be able to reconnect with my ancestors and their culture a little bit more.

So in that spirit, I've been wondering what would be the right word for "Mastodon"

A few options:

(pronounced ) - Elephant

(pronounced )

Curious if any folks who are actually fluent in Cherokee can weigh in, because I am NOT fluent.

Also curious if non-latin alphabet hashtags will work?

Today is hearing day.

We have waited 187 years for the U.S. government to uphold the Treaty of New Echota. Today is the congressional hearing to seat the Cherokee delegate, and the next step will be for Congress to hold a vote. We have waited long enough — it’s time to seat the Cherokee delegate!

Let’s make today a day of action. Visit cherokeedelegate.com or text DELEGATE to 52886 to contact Congress and tell them to vote. And show your support for Cherokee Nation by changing your profile picture for the next 24 hours.
