Indigenous Is
Indigenous is not a skin color,
Indigenous is not my nose,
not my eye color, not my lips,
Indigenous is not romanticizing ancient teachings,
To appropriate, to disseminate,
To cut to pieces, and abbreviate
in a research document,
Indigenous is removing layers of shame
from your ancestors’ trail
Indigenous is
stepping up to the plate,
Healing and creating
a new way
for future generations,
Indigenous is
standing tall,
Indigenous is
standing beautifully
Indigenous is honor.
