Current Submissions

Hello everyone, I love the Earth. I am always picking up garbage on the ground when I see it and I recycle and compost. I recycle and compost because recycling can make a new thing that somebody else can use and i compost because the ground can absorb nutrients that it needs to be capable of keeping life like plants and animals and especailly us humans. I do all of this because as a native american and as a person in genral I would love to see global warming end. I walk or bike at least four to six miles a day instead of driving because driving pollutes the air we breathe and I would love to breathe fresh air produced by the trees and plants. I just would like the world to be less violent as well and more peaceful because violence creates bad energy and the world can feel it and if I am able to be peaceful and begin to change what i wish to change maybe.... one day i will change pollution in all forms and be able to breathe fresh air

Grape dumplings are a traditional Chickasaw dish that is originally made from possum grapes but are now made with grape juice. This dish is very sweet and a great dessert

My favorite tradition food is anykind of sx̌ʷyups (snake) I've caught them since forever and eat em when I can, my Indian name is qʷx̌iłat meaning the green blanket that comes in spring just when the sx̌ʷyups com out. I would describe sx̌ʷyups in one word with k̓aʔk̓ín kíʔ (childhood) cuz it’s what I grew up on

My favorite indigenous food is the chinook salmon or in my native language nusux. it is nutritious and healthy and is a big part of my life.

We went on a hike and before we started walking we had to pray for the land. We had to give back with this tobacco and in return we could walk its trails without disturbing the nature. In my picture i'm holding tobacco and the background is nothing but beautiful growung plants.we must pray for our earth everyday, and thank her for letting us see what beauty she brings. That is one of the ways i protect this precious earth, is by praying!
