After careful consideration, @Tkemlups plans to replace the Red Bridge with a zipline. #Kamloops

Now that I work remotely, I was considering moving back to #Secwepemculecw, to around where my grandmother lived in upper #Simpcw territory, before much of the family got forcibly removed in the early 1900s.

But I found living options are prohibitively expensive b/c of the boom....

Riddle: how can I be #Indigenous if my great-grandparents weren't born "Indians"?

Answer: they were born in #Secwepemculecw before the Confederation Act (1867) and a decade before the Indian Act (1876).

They were born before Canada was.

I've been been inside mostly bedridden for almost 7 weeks because of my health.

I'm doing okay with the self-isolation thing, for the most part; it's the land isolation that's killing me.

Just want to be back in #Secwepemculecw mountains, river valleys, forests, grasslands...

#Land is our greatest source for #revitalization & #healing.

Tseqwtseqwélqw - Red Willow. A #Simpcw community site named for the plant, before the nearby main reserve at Chu Chua was created.

The name still holds Place today.

For me, an #Indigenous woman forcibly removed from culture & land when I was young, there is no feeling, no medicine in the world like returning Home.

It is the greatest, most fundamental source of #healing & the purest wellspring of love.

Watching #Nagamowin on @APTN for 1st time while doing #PostSecEd homework & they're in #Tkemlups #Secwepemculecw...started crying. #Homesick

If doing whatever I can from wherever I am to protect my Home, #Secwepemculecw, makes me what you call a "terrorist" then so be it. #STAND

... #Secwepemculecw ... the #Homesick is making forget how to type & stumble over words... :/

On Island I'm going to miss sagebrush, sxusem, & S'klep but #Secwepemculecw is always in my blood & soul. It is Home.

My #native status has nothing to do w/ your card. I am #Secwepemc b/c my soul laughs, I feel alive, & I am Home when I'm on #Secwepemculecw.
