4 of 4: Our traditional calendar is much more complex, and more accurate than any western calendars.

Our traditions and our cosmology closely follow the stars.

Use our real names, not the names the colonizer called us.

Acjáchemem
Payómkawichum
Kuupangaxwichem
ʔívil̃uqaletem

Give something meaningful this holiday season. Use our real names, not the names associated with the Spanish missions. Show pride in community.

Will add more of our tribal neighbors’ names later. #BlackFriday
