Happy #IndigenousPeoplesDay! Today I celebrate my fríe da and family who have survived 400+ years of genocide and forced assimilation. How will you celebrate? Here are some ways to get started:

Check out these fabulous photos of people from my region, including some of my K-12 classmates and their parents. We are still here, many still living and thriving in one of harshest (& most beautiful, IMHO) places on earth. https://twitter.com/NatGeo/status/1315628881408339970?s=19

Music more of your thing? Check out these Indigenous musicians. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7kE4ouJd87i4erhtQpS18Z?si=J1lUPht9TIOHOtEvdGJTfg

Looking for some Indigenous scientists to follow on #IndigenousPeoplesDay? I made a list! Invite them to give talks for your department, read their work, listen to their stories!

I don't have a list of Indigenous artists, but I know they are out there. Be wary of pretendians selling "Indigenous inspired" artwork. #IndigenousPeoplesDay

There are so many resources out there, just a Google away. Take a minute today to learn about the Indigenous history, news, and artists in your area. This Indigenous woman has some work to do so she can help out the next generation of Indigenous scientists. #IndigenousPeoplesDay
