American Indian Heritage Day in Texas is Celebrating our 10th Anniversary and wanted to create a platform to build equality and equity from our traditional value and show an inter-tribal community to a new audience in Downtown Dallas for a Campaign to make a difference for Mother Earth.

The River of the Canoes Powwow will be on September 24, 2022 at the Trinity River (Arkikosa) on the river bed so the land can hear our songs again. We need to heal Mother Earth and her rivers to address the needs to provide medicine against climate change and build a new society of awareness thinkers to grow into making a difference in new positions to make changes using their voice and talents.

We need to focus on the individual to highlight a social change. Establish the numbers and see a lens of land and water protectors’ landscape. we are looking at an eco-friendly platform to build a global partnership for all to save Mother Earth but acknowledge that our DNA needs to be re-energized to listen to our elders to listen, understand from a legacy lens that we are the 7th generation. Our cultures and ceremonies are tied to water and the land for nourishment and a lifestyle. We have to share our knowledge that they will be the stewards that will continue to protect us from their new experience but listen to our oral stories and build from data of logistics and analytics to create a consciousness for accountability.

Our tierd Arkikosa campaign’s strategy is to build a sensorial revolution of our talents to start a movement, then implement into the urban and rural eco-systems to implement the narrative of growing from a stream to a river because “All Rivers are Connected” This wisdom needs to evolve from the creativity of all ages to build a voice and start a new movement of education from a cultural lens to see the opportunity to appreciate what mother Earth give to say thank you and not take for granted.

This land had protectors that were victims of genocide and historical trauma from the Doctrine of Discovery and Manifest Destiny. there was a blueprint set for continued people to come together to protect their love of this land and now to reclaim this message, not ownership, but an understanding of the connective tissue that we are connected to Mother Earth.

We Honor our Matrilineal Leaders and give homage to loved ones that have been stripped from the American Indian Cultural Preservation to break the cycle of historical trauma from the genocidal landmarks that have still continue the campaign of "A Good Indian is a Dead Indian." We are building a stronger network from our communities that crosses into border and eliminate the erosion of a premeditated racial slur of disrespect! We are bringing back the civil rights to address the racial problem to acknowledge the fact these triggers are hidden in plain sight of symbolisms that still carry overtones of racism from the psychological perspective to easily be used as racial slurs substituted as an illusion of an honoring system.

This is our first iteration of inspiring hope in public spaces for American Indians by taking down psychological distinction and illusions for equality in historical value, educational truth, true political nativism and transformation as our equity as a voice without interpretations.

We need to reclaim our voice and instill pride for ourselves that we are able to control our narrative for a demand for respect for our ancestors as the original people on this stolen land. This also ties the notion that we are built as marketing prompts from a non-native niche for a mixed cultural belonging or a need to bring back a romancing of American Indians to belong to an ethnicity that has no longer exists or out of sight, out of mind. We need to turn our attention back to reclaiming the living, working and shared historical contributions on Mother Earth.
