Aŋpétu wašté. Iyúškiŋyaŋ wačhíyake. Čhaŋté waštéya nápe čhíyuzapi

(Good day. It's good to see you. With a good heart, I greet you.)

Happy National Day of Mourning. This is my fourth year of fasting. As always, I'll break my fast with as much #Native food I have.

Today I learned that #Wampanoag activists start their fast sundown the night before and break the fast at sundown day of. Next year I'll join them this way in solidarity.
