RP: Happy Thanksgiving Week. Did you know many Indigenous communities consider Thanksgiving a Day of Mourning & is viewed not as a day of celebration but a day of fasting & remembering those who died by genocide by European Settlers in the Northwest in the 1600s. Honor Indigenous People this holiday & check out some of these resources to help you learn & get involved in modern day Indigenous resistance.

Of all the creatures associated with the night, perhaps the most misaligned and misunderstood is the Bat. Fictional characterizations in modern culture, in movies and on TV, have given the bat an evil and sinister reputation, but such could not be further from the truth. In Tonga and ancient Babylonia bats were considered physical manifestations of the Souls of the Dead. In China and Poland they were symbols of Happiness and Long life, and to the ancient Mayans they symbolized Transformation and Rebirth. So what better time than this Fall season to consider the characteristics and teachings of the Bat?

Bats 🦇 don’t often get the credit they deserve for the important role they play in their native ecosystems, where they serve as pest exterminators and crop pollinators. And that's why it was really important for me to bring in Dr. Rodrigo Medellín who is one of the most vocal and successful advocates for the protection of bats and bat habitats. Rodrigo fell in love with bats when he held one for the first time at the age of 13 and today he is known as the “Bat Man of Mexico”. I relate to his passionate 13 year old self because that was around the time I realized nature was the source of my inspiration that I had to dedicate my life's work to her.
🦇
Rodrigo is especially known for making significant contributions to taking the lesser long-nosed bat off the endangered list in Mexico and the U.S. The lesser long-nosed bat, found in northern Mexico and the southwestern United States, is one of just three bat species in North America that are responsible for pollinating cacti and agave plants across the continent. One of the many things that Rodrigo said on the significance of bats that moved me was: “Every day of our lives is touched by one or more ecosystem service that bats provide. From your cotton shirt to your coffee to your tacos to your rice to your tequila, and much, much more, your life has been touched by bats.”
🦇
It's so true and I think I took this for granted! I've often thought of bees in this capacity but bats are fundamental to our way of life, cultures and economies. I hope you take the time to listen to Rodrigo's passion for educating people about bats. Who knows, you could turn into a or a 😛

As much as three-fifths of the world’s agricultural crops originated in the Americas. Without the Columbian Exchange, there would be no tomatoes for Italian food, no hot chile peppers for Indian cuisine, and no dietary staples like potatoes, squash, beans or corn. Corn alone is the world’s most-cultivated crop with an estimated 500 million acres harvested annually.

“A lot of the domestication and breeding that resulted in today’s major food crops, the important initial work was done by Indigenous people,” says Jules Janick, an emeritus professor of horticulture at Purdue University. “That was their contribution to world agriculture.”

While Indigenous diets and foodways were deeply impacted by European settlement, Indigenous American foods also changed the world. Below are seven food crops that originated in the Americas.

Today we are highlighting Native Women Running & the founder Verna Volker. Verna Volker is from the Navajo Nation. Her clans are Tódích'íi'nii (Bitterwater) nishlíi, Hashtl'ishnii (Mud People) bashishchiin, Ta'neeszahnii (Tangle) dashicheii, and Tó' áheedlíinii (Water Flows Together) dashinalí.

She grew up in the Dzilnaoodilii area of New Mexico, but currently live in Minneapolis, Minnesota with my husband and four children. I work as a second grade teacher.

In 2009, she started her running journey to lose weight, but it has turned into a quest to find out who she is internally. This journey has taken her from a newbie runner to a marathoner and recently to an ultra-marathoner when she finished my first Ultra 50-mile race. Her desire is to use my running to inspire others.

Last week we started Season 4 with Rocio Villalobos a Native Trial Runner. We continue to reflect on that conversation this Tuesday. Listen to Rocio's episode about how she uses running as a form of healing and also activism to raise awareness on the social and environmental issues she cares about.

“It started with just movement outdoors in a very broad way. When I was recovering from an eating disorder and recovering from probably the most severe depression that I've experienced in my life. It was something that I had always struggled with even as a kid. But when I got older, it got worse. And there was something that it almost felt like it was calling to me to spend time outside. That was where I would find peace. And for me, it just started with going to what's now? Lady Bird Lake. When I was growing up, it was Town Lake name has changed to Lady Bird Lake now, but it was right along the waters. It was a trail. There were different loops that I could do. And it was just about spending time outside, sitting at the benches at times, taking a book to read, taking a Journal to write, or just walking along the trail.”

“And there is something that really resonated with me about prayer, runs and thinking about running as a form of medicine for myself. Medicine for community, right. Because when you feel healthy and whole, it affects your ability to be in community with people and to serve the community, which is very much a big part of my life. And so I think those pieces sort of helped shape the way that I thought about myself as a runner in the sense that Native and Indigenous Peoples have been running since forever. It's not something that is new to our communities. But running culture as a whole has been portrayed as a very white and male space. And I think being connected to that history of running as prayer and medicine helped me to feel like this is my place. It's not something that is new. It's part of a very.”

Every year between and , Native people have to provide a lot of education and emotional labor to explain that our culture is not a costume.

This guide explains why it’s disrespectful to dress up as a Native American for Halloween. If this is new information for you, please sit with this knowledge and believe us when we say this is hurtful.

Wearing Native costumes contributes to the oppression of Native peoples: The idea that we're alien, subhuman, and somehow less deserving of the respect people give their own culture. This plays into a whitewashed narrative of Native extinction, reducing us to being a fantasy of the past that's fit for dress up and consumption.

Please share this information widely as many Indigenous people and allies spend time every year explaining and educating. Let’s have a fun Halloween that’s not at the expense of others.

Reposted from Reposted from "Nearly everything about how Americans 'care' for their lawns is deadly," writes .renkl, but leaf blowers "exist in a category of environmental hell all their own." This machine spews pollutants into the atmosphere "at a literally breathtaking rate," she says. "American lawn care generally — mowers, trimmers, leaf blowers, etc. — consumes nearly 2.2 billion gallons of gas each year and is responsible for about 10 percent of all the mobile hydrocarbon emissions in this country." A 2011 study by Edmunds.com that Margaret points to found that "a two-stroke gasoline powered leaf blower spewed out more pollution than a 6,200 pound Ford F-150 SVT Raptor pickup truck." | 📷 Tom Williams/Roll Call/Getty Images

This is a quick evolution considering that poaching became more prevalent in the last 40 years in Mozambique. Elephants without tusks. There is a sadness that elephants are losing a characteristic that is central to their identity but also a conflicting feeling of relief that they are less likely to be poached if they don't have tusks.

This perspective on the impact of trade agreements on food systems in Africa is one that we rarely get in the US. I strongly encourage you to take a listen to Susan Nacakwa and Leonida Odongo's episode if you believe in the importance of food sovereignty and justice as a means to achieve self-sustaining and empowered communities across the world.

Ever since I was a kid i wanted to visit the Sequoia National Park. I just never got a chance. Now to think that I may never get to see those magnificent trees in person is deeply saddening not to mention all the other associated sadness of experiencing climate change.
