"An Army major is celebrating one year of having earned approval to wear his hair and tribe-specific regalia items in a way that honors his Native American heritage during appropriate service ceremonies."
@ManyRoads OMG. It makes me feel so good to see my Native brothers and sisters wherever I encounter them. For YEARS, as a child, I read about Native Americans as if they were people of LONG, long ago, dead and vanished, never to return. Now we have a Native woman in charge of our public lands and interior; a Native Hawai'ian representing his people in the Lege. A Native rep. from Kansas. When will we have more representatives from the ORIGINAL inhabitants of this land?

"'From my research, the best thing to do with any of these signs is to leave them as they are,' McConahay said. 'But from a heritage preservation standpoint, these signs are really important to the community.'"

In honor of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, I want to recommend Japanese-American Kishi Bashi’s song film “Omoiyari.”
It’s described as “a musical journey to understand WWII era Japanese Incarceration, assimilation, and what it means to be a minority in America today.”

Theft of Bronze Age gold artefacts from UK museum sparks fresh concerns about lack of government investment in sector by Joe Ware #TheArtNewspaper
“The theft of a Bronze Age gold torc and bracelet from a UK institution has sparked calls for greater government investment in the museum sector.
Police are yet to make arrests and are appealing for information to track down two thieves who broke into the Ely Museum, Cambridgeshire, on 7 May and escaped on electric scooters.
