The crew is still asleep and I am sitting at Ginny Alexander's kitchen table sipping coffee on a cold Alaska morning. The sun begins to fill the foggy air outside and sheepishly starts to brighten the cabin. Ginny speaks fondly of her children with the sizzling of eggs in bacon grease filling the sound gaps between her words. She sits and we match sip for sip of coffee while discussing the challenges of the local Gwich'in people when her husband enters the cabin from next door. Clarence Alexander has few strands of black hair remaining, eyes squinted from -60 degree winters, and posture bent by a lifetime of subsistence living. He sits for coffee and humbly, yet firmly, begins to speak about the path he took torward building a better future for his family and his community. Alexander spoke of his first job as a rabbit hunter, his first journey out into the wild with sled dogs at the age of 13, and how he built his own sleigh without ever being taught. Then came a statement of his mentality and driving force; "They (the outside population) rely solely on the things they learn in school and disregard what they can learn from the Native way." Alexander fought for the security of his Gwich'in people by defending its future generations. He put together a committee to oversee the amount of contaminants that enter the Yukon river, served as chief of the tribe, and traveled to other reservations in the lower 48 to learn from their triumphs and failures. I realize that the fight that Alexander has led is the same that Native advocates are trying to accomplish today. We are defending the classroom we grew up in, mother nature. The challenges we face today are unique, however just like Alexander, we work together combining our skills as a community to ensure the next generation can learn the framework of skills and knowledge that has served our people for millennia. Like the past generations, we see the importance of working together with a forward-looking perspective with native and non-native communities alike to pursue this goal. 📸 @gregbalkin Pictured: 2nd Gwich'in Cheif Mike Peter and his son Mason.

“The best views come after the hardest climb” ⛰ Saturday's hike was a tough one. I'm not going to lie. Two Bit Peak started out flat but got intense on the way up. I certainly struggled but I took my time and made it to the top! As in life sometimes we have days that are smooth sailing and some days are tough. On the smooth days, enjoy every minute of it and capture all the sweet memories. On the rough days keep pushing though! As you work through the struggles you will see that in the end it was all worth it. 💕 You certainly do not have to do it alone. Surround yourself with those people who believe in you, listen to you, will not judge you, encourage you and inspire you. If you look for them you will find them. 🌟 To @soulfulofhealth I'm so happy you got to join us on this hike. To @arizona_patty Thank you for planning this hike and waiting for us. You are an inspiration and a true leader. 🙌 @girltakeahike Hike Number 26 of #52hikechallenge2018 #TwoBitPeak #HikeArizona #NativesOutdoors #Arizona #HikeHappy #GirlTakeAHike #Challenge #womenwhohikeaz #WorthIt #Life #TheStruggleIsReal #MotivationMonday @nativesoutdoors
We tested our gear out in Moab this weekend! Had a great time hiking, biking and climbing out in these parts. Moab is the traditional territory of the Ute people. . . . . . #findyourpath #eastwoodsbrand #moab #archesnationalpark #nativesoutdoors #exploremore #optoutside #outsidemagazine #backpackermag #utahlife #melaninbasecamp

Took to some trails in the Manti-Lasal National Forest this morning. It is the traditional territory of the Ute people. The elevation was crazy and the terrain was even gnarlier. 📷 by Outside magazines staff peanut butter and jelly maker. . . . . . #specialized #mountainbikelife #moabmountainbiking #bikeutah #melaninbasecamp #nativesoutdoors #eastwoodsbrand

Yesterday was National Public Lands Day, and since Public Lands are Native Lands, we took a brief detour on our drive home to visit, honor, and learn more about the native people who have called this place home long before we did. Tears welled in my eyes to see bullet holes in in the heads of life-size red Anasazi pictographs on private land across the street from the more protected rock art at the heritage site. . It is not enough that we just educate ourselves on native history, but it’s an important place to start. I am consistently striving to learn how to and work to be a better ally. Utah is the land of the Shoshone and Anasazi, Paiute, Ute, Goshute, and Navajo. This is their home and I honor that and am grateful to explore their homeland. I acknowledge the sacrifice all native people past and present endure(d) that allows me to move freely about this space. . Check out native-land.ca to learn more about whose home you are coopting. . . . . . . . #publiclandsarenativelands #protectnativelands #nationalpubliclandsday #honornativeland #rockart #utah #nativesoutdoors #beanally #mmiw #southernutah #petroglyphs #pictographs
| Gad Deelzhah / Tó Nts'ósí ∆∆∆ MESA VERDE | • • • • • Its #NationalPublicLandsDay! We took the opportunity to visit #MesaVerdeNationalPark for the first time 😀 even though we were restricted to two dog-friendly areas, we enjoyed our adventure! 🏜️🚐🌲 Originally home to the Anasazi (Ancestral Pueblo) people, "Mesa Verde" (meaning Green Tableland) was given its name after being mapped by a Spanish expedition, long after its original occupants. The Anasazi people flourished among these lands. They built their homes atop/under the mesas, within the canyon walls, and grew food & hunted upon the mesatop. Though by 1300s, the area was deserted; it is speculated this was due to a major drought. The Ute Indians occupied the area after, followed by the Navajos. The US claimed lands to the Mesa Verde area after the Mexican-American war of 1849. Then the Federal Antiquities Act of 1906 established Mesa Verde as a #nationalpark . Most of the sites within the park were named after/by the Wetherill family, whom settled east of Mesa Verde lands in the 1880s. After establishing a good accord with the Ute people, the family began to cattle on the mesa, which then led to the discovery of Anasazi ruins. The Navajo people travelled through Mesa Verde on their way to La Plata mtns. to visit the sacred Hesperus mountain. The area is important in certain Navajo ceremonies and traditional stories. | • • • • • Let's remember as we continue to explore on these lands, that #PublicLandisNativeLand ✊ | • • • • • 📍 Native homeland to: Southern Ute tribe 📸 @vernankee Reference: Tony Hillerman's Navajoland by Laurance Linford
