Happy Juneteenth! To quote John Albuquerque, "Let's make Juneteenth a commemorative, not of the horrific institution our country embraced, but rather as a showcase of the strength in the American spirit to recognize wrong and set about making it right ... Let us celebrate all that Juneteenth teaches us about our country's greatness in our use of the heart to hear and to learn and to work together for all that is good and just."

During National Native American Heritage Month, we honor the rich cultures, traditions, and histories of Native American communities across the United States. From the thousands of years of wisdom passed down through generations, to the resilience and strength of Native peoples who continue to thrive today, their stories are woven into the fabric of this land. Let’s take this time to reflect on the incredible contributions of Native Americans, not just during this month, but every day. From art and language, to activism and leadership, Indigenous peoples continue to shape the future while honoring their past. As we celebrate, let’s also acknowledge the ongoing struggles faced by Native communities and work toward greater equity, understanding, and respect. Violence and discrimination still disproportionately affect Native communities. It’s imperative to amplify Indigenous voices, support Native-led initiatives, and ensure that the rich cultural heritage of Native peoples is preserved for future generations. 🦅💫
