The Significance of Colors in Native American Culture

In Native American traditions, colors hold deep meaning, often linked to emotions, spirituality, and warfare. Each tribe has its own customs and ways of interpreting these colors, especially when used for face painting. Below are some of the common meanings behind these symbolic colors:

Red: Represents war and violence—a powerful color of strength and determination.

Black: Contrary to most cultures, it symbolizes the living and is often used on warriors' faces during battle.

White: A symbol of peace, often associated with harmony and new beginnings.

Green: When painted under the eyes, it grants the wearer night vision and heightened awareness.

Yellow: Known as the color of death and mourning, it signifies someone who has lived fully and is prepared to fight until the end.

Native tribes cherish and honor their individual traditions, and the way colors are used in face painting varies across different communities.

This image speaks not just of a chief, but of the Elder, the keeper of the Sacred Trust. Before the chief's feet touch the earth each day, his prayer rises with the morning mist: a prayer not for power, but for KNOWLEDGE.

Each feather is a silent witness to a teaching, a sacrifice, a deep understanding of the interwoven dance of life. It reminds him that true leadership is rooted in listening—to the wind, to the ancestors, and to the quiet voice within.
​The chief knows that mere strength can compel obedience, but KINDNESS can move mountains and heal ancient wounds. And true kindness is not born of weakness; it is the ultimate expression of KNOWLEDGE.

In the smoke of ancient pipes, our ancestors whispered to the winds: from the northern lakes where the eagle soars, to the southern rivers where the jaguar prowls—this red earth has always been our heartbeat.❤️

Trump, the cheerleader for greed, just attacked Indigenous people fighting to protect Oak Flat. He called us “Anti-American” for defending our sacred places. Oak Flat isn’t just land it’s church, temple, and holy ground for the Apache. Resolution Copper wants to blast it into a crater for profit, water, and copper exports. This is capitalism vs Indigenous survival. We exist, because we resist.

Rep-elect Adelita Grijalva still hasn't been sworn in.

Thanks to Republicans, the House remains out of session.

Once sworn in, Grijalva will be the final vote needed to force a discharge petition to release the Epstein files.

DAUGHTER OF THE MOON, ESCORTED BY RAVEN

She stands as if carved from silence,
eyes closed not in sleep but in listening.
Behind her, the golden moon crowns her
the way elders once crowned a keeper of stories.

The raven on her shoulder
is not companion but witness —
a translator between the breathing and the gone,
the sky and the remembering bone.

Her robe cracks like old pottery,
as if the earth itself stitched her garment
from broken time and healed it with turquoise light.

On her sleeve, stars glow in a circle —
a reminder that a people is not a line but a wheel,
always turning back to where it first began.

She is not alone in the night —
she is the night made human,
carrying in her stillness the same truth
elders once carried in their voice:

that culture can be stolen from land,
but not from those who refuse
to let their spirit forget.

The Raven Speaks

Upon his brow, the shadows fall,
Painted lines — the spirit’s call.
A raven cries from sky to bone,
Its voice a truth the earth has known.

The wind remembers ancient songs,
Of battles lost, of rights, of wrongs.
Through him, the ancestors still speak,
Their power strong, their wisdom meek.

The feathers tremble, black as night,
Yet gleam with fire, fierce with light.
For every loss, for every scar,
A raven guards who we truly are.

He looks beyond, through time and pain,
Through ash and silence, through the rain.
And from his soul, the echoes rise —
“We are still here beneath these skies.”

Feathers of the Heart
We walk the earth with gentle hands,
To heal the wounds upon these lands.
Our love is stronger than the flame,
Our hearts remember whence we came.
We build with hope, not hate or fear—
For all our children’s dreams are here.
