Part of my intergenerational trauma was going through foster care. While I was there, my foster sister taught me how to crochet.

My grandma has always been gently pushing me towards learning how to bead, so last year I started teaching myself. I'm experimenting with how to combine these two elements, and this is one of my first attempts.

I've had a really long week filling out forms and being on the phone  but I still managed to finish my website and start my ko-fi! 

I have a list of Dakhóta language resources and Indigenous businesses on there so I'd appreciate it if you checked it (and them) out! 🧡

Also if you want to be added, let me know!

Good day, it's good to see you. With a good heart, I greet you. They call me Úŋa Wolfe. My grandma is Dakota (Santee [Shooters Among the Leaves and Dwellers of Spirit Lake]) and my grandpa is German-American.

#TraditionalGreeting #Introduction

@rabbit_fighter - nice banner image! 💙 music for airports & Eno in general

háu mitákuyepi Shoshin emačiyapi. This is my #introduction from weierder.earth.

I'm learning the #LakotaLanguage and using my #programming skills to add more resources to the effort. I'm a user and contributor to #emacs , a supporter of the #fsf and #gnu, a #ruby and #javascript #programmer professionally.

Outside of computers I enjoy #music and #art with recent interest in #indigenous and #citypop artists. I was formerly a #montessori #teacher and am currently raising a child of my own.

working on healing the creative child in me, hoping to share thoughts, stories, experiences, art, and music with the folks here and on the fediverse.
