Indian Citizenship Act of 1924: Citizenship was NEVER the goal
Yá'át'ééh my relatives. 2024 is the 100th Anniversary of the Indian Citizenship Act. Today over My Second Cup of Coffee I put this Act in it's proper historical context and demonstrate that, for the US Government, Indian Citizenship was NEVER the goal. So where do we go from here?

I'm 53 years old, with an artificial hip, and last week I experienced my first "runners high"
Yá'át'ééh abiní. I am over 50 years old and one year ago I had hip replacement surgery. Over the past year I have been intentional about increasing my daily walking regiment from 1-2 miles per day to between 7-9 miles each day. About a month ago I incorporated running into my routine and last week I experienced my first "runners high". Today over My Second Cup of Coffee I talk about my experience. I invite you to join me.

Toxic Positivity
Yá'át'ééh abiní. Today is Tuesday, March 26 and over My Second Cup of Coffee, using the book "The 5 AM Club" as context, I am talking about the self-help industry and the way it over simplifies problems, fails to recognize real challenges and offers shallow, repackaged solutions. This "toxic positivity" often renders many self-help resources meaningless at best and harmful at worst for POC, women, LGBTQ+ and other people on the margins of society. I invite you to grab a cup of your favorite hot morning beverage and join me.

White people are not superior
Ya'at'eeh my relatives. Today is Tuesday, February 27 and over My Second Cup of Coffee I discuss the importance of regularly countering the lie of white supremacy by not just stating that Black Lives Matter, Native Lives Matter and the lives of other marginalized people matter, but we also need to state that "white people are not superior". Learning to walk in beauty requires learning to treat everyone as human (no one is inferior and no one is superior). I invite you to join me.

Arizona v. Navajo Nation - The Ignorance of the SCOTUS Majority and the Cowardice of the Dissenting
Today is Wednesday, July 19. I recently read the full SCOTUS Opinion re: the Colorado River water rights case "Arizona v. Navajo Nation".

https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/22/us/politics/supreme-court-navajo-nation-colorado-river-water.html
Congressional Research Service: The Supreme Court generally adjudicates by majority rule; whatever legal position garners a majority of votes in favor of its legal position prevails, and the majority’s ruling in that case becomes binding precedent in subsequent cases.
https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/LSB/LSB10113
Do dissenting opinions have legal bearing?
Unlike majority opinions and similar to concurring opinions, dissenting opinions are not binding law and, therefore, future cases are not obliged to follow them. Nonetheless, dissenting opinions preserve minority viewpoints on contested legal issues and contribute to the public debate of these issues.
