Fear, uncertainty, determination following election
Native leaders and Two-Spirit advocates expressed mixed emotions following the election of former President Donald Trump

In tribal administrative offices and in the homes of Indigenous people from Alaska to Florida, many Native people awoke the day after Tuesday’s election to find what they had feared: the election of former president Donald Trump.

Feelings of fear and uncertainty experienced by many Native people during the president-elect’s first term in office returned, and Native leaders and individuals expressed those feelings on social media and elsewhere.

In a #quest to #rediscover the #spiritual #values of his own people, an #African #filmmaker from the #Gourmantche tribe of #BurkinaFaso visits the #Atikamekw of Northern #Quebec . The resulting #documentary is a #dialogue between those who divine the future in the sand with those who use snow-encased #SweatLodges to reconnect with the spiritual world.
