#NativeAmericaCalling: Residents brace for #Medicaid and #FoodAssistance cuts

Tuesday, July 8, 2025

"The Congressional Budget Office estimates the spending bill just signed by President Donald Trump will increase the number of people without #HealthInsurance by 16 million over the next ten years.

"The $1.1 trillion cuts to Medicaid will also affect #NativeAmericans who rely on it to pay for health care through the #IndianHealthService and threatens #RuralHospitals with a high rate of Medicaid-dependent patients. The new spending plan also substantially reduces the number of people who will collect food assistance through the federal government.

"Tune in to get insights on what these numbers mean for Native Americans who disproportionately rely on these two federal government programs.

"Also, find out about the significance of the new Indigenous head of #Mexico’s #SupremeCourt. #HugoAguilarOrtiz (#Mixtec) took office on June 1 following judicial elections in Mexico."

An 1,500-year-old tradition on the brink:

🐚 On #Mexico’s coast, #Mixtec artisans "milk" a rare snail (Plicopurpura colummelaris), without harm, to extract #purple dye ink.

‘We sometimes milked 3,000 snails a day!’: the dying art of milking molluscs

For 1,500 years, Mexico’s Mixtec people have extracted ink from the rare purpura snail to dye yarn. But they fear the species – and their rich tradition – may soon be lost for ever

Mixtec Skull returns to Mexico | The skull was in the collection of the Wereldmuseum in Leiden and was purchased in the 1960s. The skull is probably of Mixtec origin and is inlaid with mosaic stones.

Although both the skull and the stones are of an older date, research shows that the glue used is from the 20th century. This makes the skull and the mosaic stones a recent composition

Mixteekse Schedel uit collectie Wereldmuseum terug naar Mexico

Minister Bruins (OCW) heeft op verzoek van Mexico besloten tot de overdracht van een menselijke schedel uit de Rijkscollectie van Wereldmuseum aan dat land. De schedel is vandaag door het ministerie overhandigd aan de Mexicaanse ambassade in Den Haag. De schedel bevond zich in de collectie van het Wereldmuseum in Leiden en is in de jaren ’60 van de vorige eeuw aangekocht. De schedel is vermoedelijk van Mixteekse afkomst en is ingelegd met mozaïekstenen. Hoewel zowel de schedel als de stenen van een oudere datum zijn, blijkt uit onderzoek dat de gebruikte lijm uit de 20ste eeuw komt. Dit maakt de schedel en de mozaïekstenen daarmee een recente samenstelling. Mexico heeft verzocht om overdracht van de schedel. Hoewel de omgang met menselijke resten vanwege de ethische context buiten het beleidskader van koloniale collecties valt, is bij specifieke verzoeken teruggave van menselijke resten het uitgangspunt. Het voorgenomen besluit tot overdracht is eerder gepubliceerd in de Staatscourant, conform de reguliere procedure uit de Erfgoedwet.

For more than 3000 years, the Mesoamerican culture area was witness to the rise (and fall) of more than eight great civilizations: Olmec, Maya, “Totonac," Teotihuacan, Zapotec, Mixtec, Toltec, and Aztec. The "Golden Age," or Classic Period, of these civilizations occurred between AD 150 and AD 900, but our interest here, will extend back in time to the very earliest Mesoamerican cultures, as well. #Mesoamerica #Olmec #Maya #Totonac #Teotihuacan #Zapotec #Mixtec #Toltec #Aztec
