This is a deeeskin I bought in Jackson Hole Wyoming during a teaching residency. It spoke to me that it was an American flag and had these words : “ Long before the white man ever stepped ashore upon America; generations of ‘America Indians’ as they became known, ranged freely over this vast land. Today, flowing in the American Indian is the proud, persistent, persecuted, yet tolerantly wise blood of his forefathers, whose council to all people would be to seek not after revenge or spoils of war, but rather to restore the balance between Mother Earth and her people. In order to experience real power and freedom by majestically rising above conflict. It is the aspiration of every true Indian to soar with our winged friend the eagle. We invite all people, to join us and winged friends, to fly alongside the American flag as partners to a more hopeful tomorrow, where all people can live in peace and share the abundant fruits of Mother Nature. “ It seems particularly poignant to me today. 🙏 #wethepeople #soarlikeeagles
