My Impact

My favorite thing to do in the spring fitness wise, is biking. Although I'm not sure if I have the correct kinda bike, I make it work through many popped tires and goat head splinters. I enjoy every bit, I believe it's one of the best ways to enjoy the beautiful reservation. In this clip I'm exploring a part of the land owned by the dam so I had limited access to the day, but I kinda just snuck past the gates and went on my own way, cuz #decolinizefitness

This photo of me was taken by a friend in Pagosa Springs, CO. This was my first time getting into rock climbing, specifically top rope rock climbing, but I really enjoyed the pump in my forearms, arms, back, and core so much that I've continued to rock climb at climbing gyms when I can get to one.
Boulder, when I find a good one I can climb, otherwise i started working out at home by making a small outdoor finger/hang board to train. I love rock climbing and I'm starting to get into it. I love the exhaustion I get from it, the pump in my hands and forearms, the problem solving of where each route goes and especially meeting new people. I hardly meet any Native Americans who rock climb so someday I hope to get grant money from companies who give money to those who wish to improve community health so that I can build a rock climbing gym in or near my hometown of Whiteriver. So that it provides another physical activity for everyone in my community besides basketball, football, running, volleyball, or baseball. Just so that the eager minds of youth can explore this new activity in particular.

The Tachi Yokut youth is here in Malibu California at the Wishtoyo Chumash Village learning how to respect the Ocean and the earth, were sleeping in Huts. PS I'm the one in khaki shorts, long sleeve and the long black socks :)

this is the hike crouching lion on the island of Oahu! i was given the opportunity to move to the island and am loving every second since i’ve been here. there are endless ways to incorporate our mother earth as a workout and my favorite is hiking! whenever i get overwhelmed or feel imposter syndrome start to come up i can go out, hike up and every step i take, every breath... i can feel myself becoming grounded. i always leave an offering when hiking to thank the creator for providing me the health to see these views. i also leave an offering for mother earth for giving me herself and taking me in. making sure i am safe, protected and grounded. i love the culture behind hawai’i and their stories that bring me back to the memories of my tribal elders telling me their stories. hawaiian people’s been through so much and i am grateful they have allowed me to take in their mokupuni (island). thank you for this opportunity to share about my experience here.

This Is #INDIANCOUNTRY

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!
