Letter to the Editor - We are all in these times together

Editor,

In these days of racial tensions, I must speak of my multiracial family. All of my children have Black heritage. All have Native American heritage, all have Gros Ventre ancestors. Some are enrolled at Fort Belknap. Some are enrolled Crows. Some have white ancestors. I have many brothers and sisters on the Fort Belknap, Blackfeet, and Rocky Boy’s reservations. So do Black lives matter? Yes, they do! So also do Native American lives matter for my family. We know of missing and murdered Native women.

Many of you also have multiracial families. We are all the Creator’s children. We are in these difficult times together. We must pray for each other.
