Native American Heritage Month: additional encouragement
How many of these have you looked for, studied, done or would you consider doing this month? Please peruse these ideas and do your own online searches:
Recognizing Native American history; Learning about diverse Native cultures
Honoring Native contributions and achievements; Increasing public understanding
Supporting preservation of languages and traditions; Learning about tribal sovereignty and Native nations
Highlighting contemporary Native communities; Encouraging respectful cultural education
Learning about Indigenous worldviews and principles of relationship with Life, Earth, People.
These above come from Why Is Native American Heritage Month Celebrated? HERE
Example of my search: I found this inspiring story about Ute Language education in our state!
'The Kwiyagat Community Academy’s Plan (KCA) to Grow More Ute Language Teachers'. “The tribe finally has a public [charter] school in the community for the first time since the boarding school era,” says Richard Fulton, stressing that many of the estimated 500 UMUT schoolchildren endure a 20-mile bus ride each way to attend public and charter schools in nearby Cortez ─ leaving at 7 am and getting home at 4:30 pm. “With KCA, they can choose to attend a close, neighborhood school, instead.” More HERE
Fort Lewis College, one of KCA’s partners, offers a Ute Language Teacher Certification Program. [We need Arapaho and Cheyenne language classes in the Denver-Metro-Boulder County area.]

ACTION needed: Title III of S. 5653, the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act of 2026, Section 106 has given Tribal Nations a voice when federally permitted or funded projects may harm the places that matter to them: historic locations, battlefields, sacred sites, and community gathering places. The Senate bill will end that, and it would make permitting faster; Government to Government Consultation Weakened, Environmental Deregulations etc.
Below is a list of the committee members on the Senate Environment & Natural Resources Committee, the committee that will be voting on the Section 106 part of SB 5653, "Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act (BAAJA). These are the Senators that we need to focus on and to contact. It is also cross referenced which federally recognized tribe(s) each Senator has in their home state.

National Indigenous Women’s Resource Center NIWRC 2026 report of Oct. 26, 2026 on Native Sovereignty and Safety for Native women
What we know is this: storytelling shapes response. How a case is reported, what photo they share of the missing person, influences whether the public engages or turns away. It impacts whether law enforcement prioritizes a search. It affects whether families receive support or are pushed aside. When the media”ignores Native families or uses harmful language, it deepens the crisis. from Lucy Simpson, Chief Executive Officer HERE
CONCERN: The National Archives and Records Administration plans to close its archives and records center in Chicago.
This facility holds federal and court records for the states of Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Ohio, according to the National Archives administration. Some tribal nation leaders around and from the region — including historic Ohio tribes — worry how this could affect access to their history.
That includes documents ranging from treaties, government-to-government records, boarding school enrollment forms and more. The regional facilities are open and accessible to the public.
The Midwest facility isn’t the only one planned for closure — the administration also plans to close its archives and records center in San Francisco/San Bruno, as well as the federal records center in Seattle. MORE HERE

Climate/Earth Matters
Dear Mother Earth,
Please help us, your human children, to wake up to our contract with you, in coming to Earth to grow, learn and appreciate. Help us delve deeper into our responsibilities for reciprocity, loving connection and care for you in the ways we relate with you and live our lives. We all know and are suffering with you, Mother Earth, the impacts from those who choose Greed, Domination, Lying, Disconnection and Fear, promoting degradation of the conditions for Life.
Help us reduce societally created impacts especially from Fossil Fuel use, Conventional Agriculture and Animal industries, and from a worldview inherited from Colonialism and Capitalism. Mother Earth, you and Indigenous Peoples have much to teach us -- may we make ourselves accessible!
With Love and Care, Bonnie

Tell the EPA: Protect Us from Power Plant Pollution--which are responsible for one-quarter of U.S. carbon emissions--Submit your public comment by November 2 HERE
Author and Filmmaker, Adam McKay steeped in global warming realities points to the basic lie being embraced: that we have "time" on our side. "....the colossus lie we’re referring to is subscribed to by most of the U.S., [which] has stopped and slowed climate action far more than outright denial, .... Every day this deception whispers seductively in the ears of mankind: “global warming is real but not urgent… Keep doing what you’re doing.”
His article, while wordy, is worth reading HERE From the article:
"Let’s do the context thing again: 2C will mean we have completely left the stable climate period known as the Holocene. This is the 11,000-year-old era that has given us large-scale crop and livestock agriculture, which gave us cities, written language, modern science and medicine, and warm beds and showers.
Before that, for hundreds of thousands of years in the Pleistocene era, humans (and our hominid ancestors) spent most of their time running from drought, fires, floods, extreme cold and heat, predators, and each other.
That is what we stand to lose. In fact, if our institutions, news and elected officials continue to feed and water the oil company-conceived mega-falsehood that climate breakdown is something just “our great-grandkids need to worry about,” human civilization as we know it will collapse and billions could die."

From Colorado Rising
Colorado’s environmental nightmares are real! From fracking and leaky abandoned wells to smoggy skies and polluted air, there’s plenty to spook us, and it’s making our communities scarier than they should be. Solar power, clean energy, and resilient communities that work with nature, not against it, can help us build a healthier Colorado,

Tell Congress: No Immunity for Big Oil!
Join us in urging Congress to reject Big Oil’s call for immunity and to protect our right to hold fossil fuel companies accountable.
The “Stop Climate Shakedowns Act of 2026” that has been introduced in Congress is beyond dangerous. The oil and gas industry has knowingly fueled the climate crisis for decades. In order for communities across the country and here in Colorado to hold them accountable, we need to prevent Big Oil allies in Congress from giving the industry a “get-out-of-jail-free” card. Tell Congress that there should be no immunity for big oil and send a 1-click letter to your members of Congress HERE
Sign the Petition to the Public Utilities Commission About Data Centers! Protect Colorado communities from the impacts of data center development! HERE Colorado customers should not have to pay the costs or take on the risks of Xcel serving large energy users, and our communities should not bear the burden of more pollution, fossil fuel use or pressure on already limited water supplies. Urge the Commission to put people before profits and adopt a strong Large Load Tariff and Clean Transition Tariff that protect Coloradans, make large energy users pay their fair share and ensure our energy future is clean, affordable and fair.

--don't idle your car while sitting, waiting or using your phone
--turn off the AI on your regular browser searches and use AI sparingly
--when drawing hot water from the faucet, capture the cold water in jars for reuse
--sign up for the AC switch on and off with Xcel to use less energy
—sign up for ECOSIA.org as your browser and contribute to climate action with searches

How to use it
If you’re an educator, use it with your students. It’s a way to open a conversation many young people are already having quietly.
If you’re a parent, share it with your kids. You don’t need to have the answers. Giving them somewhere to go is a good start.
If you’re a youth 14+, explore it, use the tools, and share your story. Yours might be the one another young person needed to read.

Resistance, Regeneration and Transformation Matters
Dear Reader,
Yes there is much pain in the world, disconnection from one another and Earth, and yet we need to be wary of holding onto painful stories and our reactions to them and being too attached to a sense of powerlessness. Part of the transformation needs to include awareness of these processes in ourselves and making sure we keep open to the power of the Greater Spirit moving thro us with clarity while taking care of oneself in the process.
I personally have great pain facing powerlessness in stopping Israeli actions towards Palestinians. However, I do know if one has financial means, there are Palestinian people and organizations we can support including our Boulder Nablus sister city project as an example.
Steven Newcomb introduced me to the realization that this dominating way of Western civilization is fully a MENTAL CONSTRUCTION of REALITY-- from the minds of certain people over time. We CAN create something better!
Thank you for VOTING in elections and participating in your local communities.
Bonnie

Help protect Aurora, Colorado from an experimental nuclear micro-reactor project at Buckley Space Force Base (SFB).
Send a message to Colorado senators and local elected officials asking for their help to stop Federal plans to install a mobile nuclear "micro-reactor" near homes and schools at Buckley SFB in Aurora and launch operations by 2028. Because:
Installing and operating reactors can release radiation that would increase cancer risk for the people of Aurora who have had no opportunity to weigh in on this project.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has undergone massive staffing cuts and is proposing to weaken radiation exposure standards.
The selected contractor, a six-year old startup called Radiant Nuclear, has never operated a commercial nuclear reactor before, and has received criticism of their reactor development in Wyoming.
Unfortunately, Colorado's US Senators, John Hickenlooper and Michael Bennet, and Aurora's US Congressperson, Jason Crow, appear to support the reactor plan. Aurora city council members, Mayor Coffman and state legislators from the area have taken no public position to date.
Please speak out now to stop this irresponsible threat to community health and safety before it becomes a fact on the ground. Take action HERE
