Desert National Wildlife Refuge. 1.5 million acres. Just north of Las Vegas. These peaceful walks were near parking. There are also many dirt roads where serious 4WD vehicles are mandatory.

It got as low as 26°f last night, but it’s warmer today.
Nuvagantu, “where the snow sits” is the Nuwuvi name for the peaks in the Spring Mountains, where snow can be seen almost all year round. They are “the people of where the snow sits” Nuvagantucimi, and this is the sacred place of their origins

We're really doing it all over again. It never stopped really, like with the people who's land was stolen for the camps (Keli Akimel O'odham, Pii-Posh, Diné, Hopi, Aha Makhav and Nüwüvi where I am from), who had experienced it first, like so many after.
I think about it all a lot.

Global Land Back. This time last year I was seeing Nkij, my Mom, for the first time in years while fleeing across the continent with my partner, pups, and cat, only to get a number done on me by the HPD shortly after getting to Nuwuvi. Still recovering, everyday is a process 🪶🪶❤️🔥🌈🏳️⚧️
