2026 SOCIAL & POLITICAL TURMOIL from an INDIGENOUS PERSPECTIVE

Before I resume my content, I have to take a moment to acknowledge the current sociopolitical turmoil. As someone with deep reverence for the collective that is the human spirit, it's in my cultural values to stay grounded in this world, and that goes for the virtual world as well, because it's an extension of who I am. Just because I’ve posted mostly fitness content does not mean I do not have a social, cultural, and political stance or a moral obligation to express it in times of societal turmoil. As an indigenous person, that is part of our inherent identity. My speaking tempo and the energy I emit are purposeful. I could go on and on in a rapid-fire way about the details of my views, but that is not necessary because, as I say in the video, I do not seek validation for what I'm observing in a dominant society. Instead, I’m content to be more general and to demonstrate calm. You’re free to disagree, and if my presence and words offend you, ask yourself why and why you feel the need to be heard by me. Who am I to you? Do I have power over your emotions, or do you? Will you be so persuasive that you will change people’s minds with a social media comment? Positive dialogue is always welcome. To be more clear than my simple words in the video: Tribal governments rely on treaties, federal Indian law, and constitutional principles—especially the Supremacy Clause—to hold the United States accountable to its obligations and responsibilities. Social and political policy directly shapes people’s well-being. As Native people, we’re among the few populations in this country who truly understand that. That's why my wife and I got into community health education in Native communities over ten years ago. So, having a social and political stance isn't separate from living in balance; it's actually a vital part of healthy lifeways. My cultural upbringing emphasized resistance to government overreach and systemic injustice as a foundational value within our collective consciousness, so expressing a strong political stance is not foreign to me. Indigeneity is inherently spherical— it's an integrated framework encompassing social, political, economic, and spiritual dimensions of existence. KEEP YOUR FIRE STRONG
