May 5 is a day to honor Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit relatives. The red dress represents those who were taken and those who should still be here. Indigenous families across this country are still searching, still waiting, still calling for justice.

Join us tomorrow at 7pm for the online premiere of Guardians of the Waters. This short documentary follows the Chinook Indian Nation and their work in the Necanicum Watershed, grounded in care, responsibility, and sovereignty. Watch with us. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KeO6...

Today is the Chinook Day of Mourning. 23 years ago, the Bureau of Indian Affairs reversed our federal recognition, after acknowledging it just 18 months before. We mourn because this injustice has cost us countless lives, millions of dollars, and opportunities for our youth. #ChinookJustice

"The Chinook may be the most recognized tribe in the American West that is not federally recognized."
– Matt Simons, Courthouse News Service This powerful truth reflects a lived reality for the Chinook Indian Nation. Link in Bio

30,000+ have joined our call for justice. For 20+ years, we’ve fought to reclaim the federal recognition we earned in 2001. We’re not done yet. Help us hit 50,000 signatures: chinookjustice.org/petition
#ChinookJustice #StandWithChinook

The Chinook Indian Nation will only pursue federal recognition that includes all resource access rights for the nation, which includes hunting, fishing, shellfish aquaculture, trapping, gathering, and water rights. www.underscore.news/justice/chin...

Today, we honor all those who nurture, guide, and support others—mothers, grandmothers, aunties, mentors, and chosen family. hayu masi! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

Justice is overdue. The time to act is now.
 Every day without recognition is another day of injustice.
We will not remain silent. We will not wait any longer. ✊🏽 Stand with us. Sign the petition.
