Social Injustice + Critical Race Theory + Genocide:
Ending the era of historical trauma!
This is a work-in-progress, discovering ways it could be improved, and set about refining a conscious thought to prepare to educate a new audience who wants to hear but needs details to fulfill their assumptions, create a new dialogue to change the landscape, and share to test physical and emotional strength.
The experiment teaches a diverse range to a new vision of endless possibilities of the American Indian perspective and examine the mental process in deductive reasoning to present a central focus of our latest milestones in a gradual, organic expansion, more balanced and creating a clear shift.
Historic, cultural, and social contributions made by American Indians.
Our Culture
We have a unique opportunity and responsibility to celebrate the rich tradition of American Indians in the State of Texas.
Our Education
Our platforms are essential teaching tools to expose cultural & social justice issues from the American Indian perspective.
Negative Stereotypes
This is a fight of mentality versus conscious suggestion. Truth and propaganda to think change is good of American Indians.
Our Identity
We are .5 of 1%, most researched but least understood beyond perceived “Founding Fathers” or “Immigrants built this land”
