"The pathway to leadership is service." ~Samoan Proverb – at Arlington, VA

"The president said we need people who are closely related to these positions." That's how Bill Mendoza got in his job. #earningrespect

"Rez rich" meaning you had one parent who held a job for a long period of time. ~Bill Mendoza

My convo with Bill Mendoza. My friend took the pic because it must have been getting crrrraaaazzzzyyy! #SBill1948

"200 living languages who are struggling," Bill Mendoza. He didn't answer the question of what his office was doing on help Native languages

Oh my god. Epic fail William Mendoza!! He had to apologize for not giving support for #SBill1948 but would make it priority to say yay/nay

Hearing on S.1948.

3 women arrested at the mega load blockade in Missoula, MT @EcoWatch

George Price reminding us of why we are here to block the mega load. @IdleNoMore4 @IdleNoMore4 @lastrealindians

We got a neon sign to stop the mega load!! #WaterIsSacred #StoptheTarSands @IdleNoMore4 @EcoWatch @VinceSchilling

I pulled up to the mega load blockade pre meeting and they were in full prayer being led by councilwoman Shelly Fyant

I am so looking forward to the uncomfortable sleep on the plane. Wish I was still in the fancy hotel on the fancy bed asleep for 5 more hrs

Done. #SpeechDay #SaveAlanguage #DoWhatItTakes #LanguageIsMyLife
