I’ve taken some time away from social media (posting not viewing lol) But this post by my sister Twyla compelled me to share. It’s such a beautiful photo that captures the joy of our people. I love it. Much love relatives. Repost from @indigenia • A photo from the Gilbert Wilson collection at the Minnesota State Historical Society in St. Paul, MN. Three girls of Fort Berthold giggle and laugh. This photo is how I want people to see us. This is how we were, are, and likely will always be, I hope forever. Joyful and beautiful and precious and human. This is what I see and experience in my daily life, not so much the frozen in time stoic romanticizations that white audiences seem to prefer. This little moment is so much closer to the truth, and it really makes me want in on what they’re laughing at. 😉 haha More news on the collections soon to come! 😊 Pic spotted by @i.amsavannahjade during our archives visit. 💙
