      <image:title>Blog - The Thanksgiving Address - I get asked all the time about what non-Native peoples can do to be better allies to Native and Indigenous peoples. In my experience as a labor educator, activist, and anti-oppression facilitator, people don’t really change their minds much. But if they care enough about a relationship in their lives, a deep friendship, a close family member, a romantic partner, then they will be willing to change their behavior. For me, this is enough to pave the way for social change. Words of comfort or solidarity are nice, but love is an action. Show me you love me, my people, and my relatives, by putting your words into action.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Mikveh Water Ritual for Palestinian Life - As the war rages on in Israel/Palestine, I’m thinking about my Indigenous abuela (Spanish for grandmother) Ana Rosa Gallego Romero and all the ancestors whose faces are my face that came before her. How they cried out for me through time in their moments of deep despair because their love for me and their descendants gave them hope, even as they were being killed because of genocide. They knew what it was like when capitalism and white supremacy want your land, but not you as a people.</image:title>
      <image:caption>I am also thinking about my emotionally damaged Jewish father who was a Holocaust survivor. And the genocide that is being committed now in his name against the Palestinian people today.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Mikveh Water Ritual for Palestinian Life - This past Sunday, November 12, 2023 I was invited to be part of a Water Ritual for Palestine by the Queer Mikveh Project, which is what prompted me to write this ceremony. If you want to do more, please donate to the Queer Mikveh Project, and they will send half the money to a Palestinian mental health clinic that they have a relationship with in Palestine. Just make sure you tell them it’s for them and Gaza, and the donation will be split between the two organizations. I feel so blessed to be in relationship with a Jewish organization that has done the work to decolonize. My relationships with Rebecca Goldschmidt and Rebekah Erev are full of ease, joy, and so much love. It is such a relief not to have to educate people about how to treat me with respect as an Indigenous woman, and to be able to just build close friendships full of beauty and reciprocity. Thanks QMP!</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - I’m Writing A Book! - Since I started Reclaiming Indigeneity in 2020, I have taught 30 reconnecting Natives about how to come home to ourselves, our lands, and our hearts in a good way. My students so far have come from all across the Americas. Most were raised in Canada or the United States, but trace their roots back to Mexico, the Caribbean, all the way down to Chile and across the Atlantic to Africa. They come full of hope and longing for a place to belong. Permission to be themselves even though they weren’t raised speaking their Native languages, with their Native peoples, or on their Native lands. They are often afraid of making mistakes, being culturally appropriative, or taking something that isn’t theirs. The impact of colonization on all of our families has been real. Assimilation, alcoholism, and sometimes abuse have taken their toll on us all. By the end of our class together, my students weep with relief because they know that it is possible to come home, they just need to put in the work to do it responsibly so they can be good community members.</image:title>

      <image:title>Her Mentor Jennileen - I am blessed to count Jennileen Joseph, founder and Ayurvedic practitioner at Sastimos Holistic Health, as one of my good friends. She has mentored me through my process to uncover the deepest parts of my heart and my mind as I find my journey home to my native peoples, lands, and languages. It was her idea that I start teaching these classes in the first place, so it is only right that she has her permanent spot here on my website as an action of loyalty and reciprocity to her in return. But also so more people in the world can benefit from her wisdom, healing, and joy as an Ayurvedic practitioner and herbalist with Sastimos Holistic Health.</image:title>

      <image:title>Our Founder Rosa - Reconnecting Journey</image:title>
      <image:caption>Rosa Blumenfeld-Romero is a Native/Indigenous woman from the Muisca people who was raised outside of her traditions and lands in Vancouver, BC, Canada. As a child she had recurring dreams of getting on a bus, train, or plane going the wrong way. At first she thought she was losing her mind, but really this was her ancestors telling her what she already knew: that the Colombian and Jewish cultures that she was being raised in weren’t the whole story of who she was. That she was going on the wrong direction and needed to follow the path to reconnect to her roots. She met her Indigenous mentor, Jennileen Joseph from the Rroma people, in 2014 and has been doing coming home work ever since. This has led her from back home to the ancestral lands of her people in Colombia where she now lives full time with her dog Penelope. (Rosa is pictured right as a 5 year old in Colombia in 1991)</image:caption>

      <image:title>Our Founder Rosa - Popular Education</image:title>
      <image:caption>Rosa started teaching popular education workshops when she worked for the labor movement in Massachusetts from 2006-2014 with mentorship from the Labor Extension Program at the University of Massachusetts at Lowell, the Labor Education Center at the University of Massachusetts Boston, the AFL-CIO headquarters in Washington, DC, the United Association for Labor Education, and the Women’s Institute for Leadership Development. She has taught workshops to union members all over the United States about leadership development, power mapping, strategic planning, organizational development, campaign strategy, economic policy, dismantling racism, ending sexism, workplace solidarity, working class history, one to one meetings, target development, and more. Her training in the political, inclusive, and radical nature of popular education is the spirit from which she teaches her reconnecting classes today.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Our Founder Rosa - Sacred Lakes, Sacred Water Connection</image:title>
      <image:caption>Her whole life hough she felt a soul deep connection to the element of water. On a trip to Lake Guatavita in 2016, she learned about her people’s creation story and our connection to seven sacred lakes in the Cundinamarca, Boyaca, and Santander regions of Colombia. It made all of her delightful memories of playing in pools, swimming in the ocean, or floating in a pond, make sense. Although her focus is on reconnecting, Rosa also maintains a connection to her Jewishness through water. She is a certified Mikveh Guide at Mayyim Hayyim Living Waters in Boston, MA, a frequent collaborator with the Queer Mikveh Project, and the author of water immersion ceremonies like For Palestinian Life and In Generation Gratitude for Jewish Women of Color.</image:caption>
