Our #TrailofTruth reached Niagara Falls and stood witness to a somber procession to honor the lives of the indigenous that were lost to the waterfall in the war times. As we recounted the sacrifices and struggles of our ancestors with our Oglala Lakota relatives, we prayed together for their souls and our fights to bring them justice! We extend our wholehearted gratitude to Jill Clause and the tribal Chiefs from the Bear and Beaver Clans for taking us in, feeding us, and keeping us warm through

Horses are more than companions they are the strength beneath us, the spirit that moves us forward. They have carried warriors into battle, guided our ancestors through storms, and stood beside us in our fight for recognition. When the world tried to silence us, our horses reminded us that we are still here, still riding, still resisting. The Trail of Truth is not just history it is our journey, our survival, our proof. And like the sacred horse, we do not stop. We do not break. We move forward.

For generations, we watched from the edges as our homeland was fenced, funded, and forgotten. They built monuments to their power while erasing our presence from the very soil we have loved for thousands of years. The Presidio was never theirs to claim, and no amount of concrete, politics, or money can change that truth. We are still here. We are still fighting. We are still connected to this land. Returning the Presidio is more than just justice for our people, it’s healing for the land itself.

For over 13,000 years, this land was ours. Before the cities rose and technology took over, we lived in harmony with the earth—our homes crafted from tule and redwood, our lives woven with tradition and community. The missions brought disease, forced labor, and the erasure of our culture. But through it all, we endured. We fought for this land, for this country, and for our people. And though our place in history remains unrecognized, we stand strong. Today, we are reclaiming what was lost—our l

The recent incident where members of the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe were denied entry to Vice President Kamala Harris' CNN Town Hall is a stark reminder of the ongoing struggles faced by indigenous peoples in the United States. The tribe's attempt to simply seek acknowledgment and recognition for their heritage and their rights was met with an excessive display of military force, effectively silencing their voices and denying them a platform to express their concerns.John Gonzalez Standing Bear Networ

For generations, the Muwekma Ohlone have walked this land, carrying the prayers of our ancestors and the fire of our culture forward, even when the government tried to erase us from existence. Our federal recognition was stripped away in 1927, but we never disappeared. We are still here, still gathering, still dancing, still teaching our children that to know where you're going is to know where you've been. Our culture is not a relic of the past. It is the power that keeps us thriving, the heart

We've been here long before borders, before gold rushes, before termination policies tried to erase us from the record. The Muwekma Ohlone didn't disappear, we were made invisible. But you cannot erase a people who refuse to vanish. Our children still carry the names of their ancestors. Federal recognition is not a gift, it's a debt long overdue. The question isn't whether we exist. The question is: how much longer will you pretend we don't? To the administration and Congress: this is your momen

Today, on Native American Heritage Day, we speak with the strength of those who walked before us. For our people, this day is more than a celebration, it is a moment to breathe, to remember, and to stand in the truth of who we are. Our ancestors fought to keep our identity alive through erasure, loss, and displacement, and it is because of them that our tribe still stands with pride on our own ancestral land. We honor their courage by living our culture every day, by speaking our language, raisi

For us, the winter solstice is a reminder that even in the longest night, the teachings endure. Our ancestors understood this moment as one of pause, humility, and renewal, a time to listen closely to the land and to one another. As the earth rests, we honor the cycles that have sustained our people since time immemorial. We remember who we are, where we come from, and our responsibility to those yet to be born. We carry these teachings forward, not just in ceremony, but in how we protect our ho

When Gavin Newsom mocked CEOs and politicians for “selling out” to Donald Trump, we listened. But accountability cuts both ways. You can’t publicly shame others for corruption while quietly soliciting millions from powerful gaming tribes, and then use state power to protect their casino interests by blocking rival tribes. Native communities know what selling out looks like. We’ve lived with the consequences of pay-to-play politics for generations. So when leaders throw stones, we ask one simple

In 1927, an Indian agent named Lafayette Dorrington decided our people did not need land. He never came to see us. He never set foot in our villages. On paper, he declared we were “just fine.” But his words carried an agenda: to deny us our place in our own homeland, the San Francisco Bay Area. Other agents before him had written the truth, that our people were destitute, in need of land, in need of justice. Dorrington reversed it all, because they did not want Indians living here. That history
