Sharing One Skin: The Okanagan Community

Sharing One Skin is an article that we people identify ourselves with. The article tells us that no matter who we are, where we come from, what race we are, and who we identify ourselves with that we are still the same. The article explains identity and responsibility. Meaning that we have to know we are and where we come from. Also all the responsibilities that come with it. Armstrong explains that there are four capacities with ourselves that help us define who we are. Within ourselves there's physical, emotional, thinking-intellectual, and spiritual. These are what make up us humans. Not only does it talk about ourselves but it also talks about land, communities, and language. Where we identify ourselves with and understand where our heritage comes from. Sharing One skin doesn't necessarily mean what color our skin is but it means that we are all the same people no matter what we identify ourselves with. That we should be together as one so that way we can come together and make the world a better place than it already is.

Indigenous leaders want less drilling near sacred sites

Tribal Leaders Across New Mexico gathered to talk about less drilling near sacred sites. During the meeting tribal leaders told companies that want to drill near sacred sites to treat all sacred sites as Yellowstone National Park. The reason that they said to think of sacred sites as Yellowstone is because formar President Trump passed a law saying that Yellowstone National Park should be Protected and prevent companies from drilling there. Mainly the reason why tribal leaders across New Mexico want less drilling around sacred sites is because they don’t want archeologists to research tribal sacred sites because it’s none of their business is know. The only people that can know what it means are tribal people that live on the lands where the tribal sacred sites are.
