Why do #racist#politicians join cultural associations in their local areas - when they've ignored that cultural community for years prior to trying to gain more #political powers or trying to gain higher ranking political positions?
Tomorrow, my Indigenous friend is taking me to a #Wsanec#SweatLodge for a full moon #healing sweat. My friend is going to location in morning to start setting things up. Once things are all setup, I'll be transported there for several hours of sweat lodge native healing ceremonies.
