"all i've ever tried to do is the right thing. if that's so very different from how things have been done before, then what's done before was wrong."

Listen up please

This is incredibly important.

The united States government has been trying to remove the protections of native children mainly via possibly overturning the ICWA (Indian Child Welfare Act)

This will allow white families to continue to take native children from their lands their family and their culture just like they did for centuries before the ICWA was passed.

This is both incredibly important and incredibly personal as my family was permanently harmed because of children being taken away from their families.

So please spread awareness about this and I have a link below that you can go to the first Nations website learn more about this and and write a response that they can use about how we should be saving the ICWA

First Nations is focused on Investing in Native Youth, and we stand with our community partner, National Indian Child Welfare Association (N

Ok so my grandma(dad side) went to a special institution that do research on you family name and give your this weird certificate that explains sruff about the family name, origin, meaning etc. So she did on 4 family names:

Her husband's

Hers-dad side

Her mother's - dad side

Her mother's (again)- mother side

And APPARENTLY i have a linage of THREE important rabbis(which one was literally a sofer stam) but that's not all- one of the family names can be traced to RASHI(רש"י) himself???

AND NOT ONLY THAT, which is HUGE, but there's a big fat chance RASHI is a descendant of THE KING DAVID?????

"european" MY ASS NOT ONLY IM NATIVE JEWISH I ALSO MIGHT HAVE A ROYAL HERITAGE????

I know there are another like thousands who should have it too but literally wtfff

I am so psyched out of my mind WHAT THE HELL

The Four Wives of Tezcatlipoca

During the feast of Toxcatl a sacrifice of a youth dressed as Tezcatlipoca was carried out.

He was accompanied by four girls who also impersonated deities that of Xochiquetzal, Xilonen, Atlatona, and Huixtocihuatl.

We know of the story when Tezcatlipoca stole Xochiquetzal from Tlaloc and Tlaloc refused to let it rain until he eventually rained fire and destroyed the Third Sun. But there are no stories left behind about the other four. Did he abduct them too¿? We'll never know but what the four wives represent what is essential to life: love, food, water and salt.
