Colonial settler mindset is “I have rights.” Indigenous mindset is “I have obligations.” Instead of thinking that I am born with rights, I choose to think that I am born with obligation to the past, present and future generations.

Pioneer Day is complicated. A couple of years ago I asked my Bishop if he would let me speak in Sacrament Meeting on that day to give the rebuttal. HE let me! Best Pioneer Day ever!

This Saturday is the 159th Anniversary of the Bear River Massacre. This was one of the largest massacres of Native Americans in the history of this country. To learn more from the perspective of the Shoshone you can read my book. DM me your name and address or Amazon

My friends at the Church History Library found this gem from 1958. My Great Grandparents Moroni and Amy Timbimboo. Among other things he was called as the first Indian Bishop in the Church. I spent many summers at his home at Washakie.

Happy Native American Heritage Month everyone 😊 I hope we can all take the time to learn more about the First People’s of this wonderful country. Ask questions, read a book from a Native American author and find out all that you can. Ours is a wonderful history.

Manifest Destiny Week Fun Fact… There were more than 20,000 Native Americans living in the Utah Territory in 1847. In just 50 years that number dropped to 2,623. A sharp decline of 86%.

Today in history. On December 26, this man ordered the mass execution of 38 Indigenous people. This would be the largest mass execution in US history.

Native American Heritage Month. Thank you to all of the men and women who have served our country. Did you know that Native Americans served in the Armed Forces at five times the national average and have served with distinction in every major conflict for the past 200 years.

I can’t change history. I don’t want to change history. But I can change the future and so can you. Some of the greatest crimes in history were not caused by hatred but by indifference. It’s time for good people to stand up and make a difference.

Never, ever has a Native American been the nominee for Congressional District 1- this campaign truly is historic. Not only will we make CD-1 competitive again for the first time in 40 years, but we can win in November. But, the only way we win is with your vote by Tuesday.

What are your thoughts? Are Native Americans the Covenant people from the BOM? What roll will they play in the last days? If they are, why don’t we have more NA leadership in the church?

200 years ago Shoshone elders did not prepare our children for successful career paths in a capitalistic system. Stories were meant to create self motivated, self-directed, community minded, brilliant, loving citizens who at their core, upheld ideals around family and community

History is contested ground.  Who owns the past?  For centuries, non-Indians have monopolized the writing of Indian history… but not any more. We must insist on greater intellectual and cultural sovereignty.
