✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽🪶HISTORIC MOMENT IN RUMSEN OHLONE LAND 🪶✊🏽✊🏼✊🏻

Today we witnessed a powerful milestone: California’s FIRST POST-certified MMIP (Missing & Murdered Indigenous People) Training.

At the Portola Hotel in Monterey, on the homelands of the Rumsen Ohlone 9am-5pm

Attorney General Rob Bonta opened the press conference alongside Mayor Mary Ann Carbone, signaling a long-overdue commitment to addressing the MMIP crisis with real training, real structure, and real accountability.

This moment isn’t just symbolic.
It is transformational.

✨ Why This Matters:
• MMIP continues to devastate Native Nations across California and the U.S.
• Many cases go unreported, uninvestigated, or mishandled.
• Families deserve justice, clarity, and culturally informed response systems.
• Law enforcement must be equipped with the knowledge, protocols, and community understanding needed to protect Indigenous lives.

Tomorrow’s MMIP Law Enforcement Training Conference will bring together officers, tribal leaders, Indian Health Centers, social services, and advocates to deepen awareness, strengthen response coordination, and build meaningful pathways toward safety and healing.

This is the beginning of something much bigger—
A commitment to justice.
A commitment to community.
A commitment to our stolen sisters, brothers, relatives, and two-spirit people.

📍 Rumsen Ohlone Territory – Monterey, CA
📆 Press Release: Today
📆 Training: Tomorrow, November 14, 2025

May this be one more step toward honoring those we’ve lost and protecting those still with us.

Honoring all those who took to the streets today across America. Especially those in “red” / racist states. The youth, the elders, the educators and workers. It takes everyone working together to make America “great” not just the few.

We are going through a big RE-Education over here at Magdalena and we believe it’s Universal.

Part of that process is listening and trying to figure out what steps are next. The main one not being the release of Issue three in 2025 ❤️‍🩹🙏🏼🌀☠️ It’s been an apparent part of unlearning and trying to figure out how to move foreword in the best way.

The colonial Magazine identity is not working with the meat suit and theres only one way to remedy growth: REST. 🍂

🙏🏼 Love, Magdalena

Words and the names we give hold so much meaning. It’s been a few years since the common national American holiday to celebrate Columbus often cherished for anything other than its day off was changed to Indigenous People’s Day. Since that day has been renamed to honor Americas Indians, the world seems to have awakened to the crimes of Columbus and the colonization against this lands first people. Within that awakening indigenous peoples have enlightened us to our own belonging, not only to this planet, but to our own cultures, our own ancestors and the ways, we used to live in community and interdependence.

We are rising as a people to meet and balance the ways of destruction that have been created over the past hundred years. I believe in the power of the people to hold more weight than the power of greed .

Today let us celebrate America’s Indians, those who keep their culture alive, those who struggle to keep their culture alive, and those who are awakening to the power of their connection to this beautiful planet. Happy indigenous peoples day! Happy American Indian Day!! We are on our way to better times. 🙏🏼🌀🍂✨🦬💦🌕❤️‍🔥

Something must be done. Clarity, action, truth, international authority, planetary unity. There’s nothing more important on this earth than making sure all are fed and cared for. It seems ridiculous at this day and age that so many are left behind.

When I was 16 I went to the United States Holocaust Memorial museum in Washington DC and walked through a train car from Karlsruhe, the city center 14 miles from my grandmothers house. The reality hit me that the Holocaust took place on the very land where I grew up.

It is easy to imagine a Holocaust won’t happen again and yet signs of the same historical political and public affairs seem to be taking place in the United States under the administration.

I am a German American. I will not be silent. History has an ugly way of repeating its self.

WE DID IT!!!

For everyone that took the time to call in and speak up to Protect Wild Horses and Burros for our National Call in last month with International Society for the Protection of Mustangs & Burros ISPMB, THANK YOU!

The outcry for supporting our wild horses is necessary for their continued protections. Thank to you the the continuation of the legislation to Protect Wild horses was added back into the Big Bill that passed in rushed proceedings on July 4th. It was public opinion and a children’s letter drive that passed the first bill to protect wild horses and burros in 1971 and IT WAS YOUR HELP THAT KEPT THAT LAW INTACT THROUGH THIS ADMINISTRATION!

If we did it once we can do it again. The voice of the people will prevail, so please stay tuned and informed as calls to action develop.

The spirit of the horses is strong, be inspired by their good spirit and energy, especially in these politically unsettling times.
