I never realized how deeply love for a place can fill you up until I tried to leave. I never understood how love for place can carry you through the difficult times until I needed this place to help keep me together. I never knew that love of place is reciprocated by the place itself until I made this place my work. I'm forever grateful to be of and from South Minneapolis, a place so filled with love and determination and smiling faces. That gratefulness manifests in me again and again at unexpected moments, but I carry it with me always. #dakotacountry #uncededland #indiancountry #minneapolis #minnestagram #midwestisbest #franklinave #hometownlove #gradschoollife #homesweethome #indigenousresistance #indigenousstudies #publicart (at Minneapolis, Minnesota) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpAFDnng9wW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=sk1gkss9pi7q
