In a survey of nearly 1,400 scientists released this week, 83% said federal government policies since January 20, 2025, had caused an "extremely negative impact" or "irreparable harm" on their field of science.

Ann Coulter's statement that "We didn't kill enough Indians" is a call for violence against Native people.

Yesterday was Twahyahnekílha (Strawberry Ceremony) back at home. Each June, we celebrate and give thanks to the leader of the plants, awʌ́hihteʼ (wild strawberry), brought to our world by Skywoman. The berries, leaves & roots are medicine for our people. Make your own awʌ́hihteʼ drink (simple recipe)!

It's #worldbeeday! At Oneida Nation, our tsinuhnéhklis (bee) relatives are essential to our livelihoods. Not only do they pollinate our crops/orchards and medicines (eg, bergamot or #6), we have seen many return home as we restore habitats on the reservation - including the rusty-patched bumble bee!

Thankfully, these cicadas started emerging as the Onondaga were facing homelessness and starvation. The cicadas helped them gain strength to persevere and rebuild, and they remain a strong community today. I am always happy to hear their songs and continue to give thanks for each emergence.

Kanyʌhtowa•nʌ Cheyenne Reuben-Thomas @cheyennethomas.bsky.social · 14/05/2025

Cicadas were a gift from Creator to help our Onondaga relatives survive after the path of destruction left by the Sullivan Campaign. Unfortunately, this was one of many instances where fire was weaponized against our people, with orders to burn down Haudenosaunee longhouses, villages, and crops.

Woke up thinking about our ogweñyo'da (cicada) relatives. Our Onondaga brood won't be seen again until 2035, but I am always delighted to see nearby broods. These amazing insects are an example of our resiliency as Haudenosaunee people and I celebrate every emergence.
