They left this out of your history books on purpose!

Two weeks.
That's all that stands between us and Gathering of Nations! I'm getting excited and nervous!
Yes, I always get nervous before our live stream trips. Been doing this for a long time, but always get travel anxiety. And with this being the LAST Gathering of Nations, I'm feeling the pressure!
Before anything else, I need you to do one thing: go read the updated information about our live stream this year. The Gathering of Nations Committee has made the decision to go pay-per-view for live coverage this year.
I know that's a change, and I want to make sure you have all the details so there are no surprises.
And if you decide the pay-per-view isn't for you, we'll also be releasing free content starting the Sunday after the Gathering of Nations wraps, running all week long.
π Reader Quick question before you scroll!
Are you planning to watch Gathering of Nations this year?
Hit reply and let me know, I'd love to know if you'll be online with us!
I've been writing another newsletter lately called This Week in Native History. Every time I sit down to research, I come away learning something I genuinely didn't know. Native leaders I'd never heard of. Milestones that changed everything. Moments that should have been in every history book but weren't.
It's made me realize just how much was left out of what we were all taught in school, and how much of it deserves to be remembered and celebrated.
Is there a piece of Native history a person, an event, a moment that you wish more people knew about?
Reply and tell me.

New Mexico has a deep connection to its indigenous roots. Santa Fe is a movable feast for those interested in Native American culture while Taos has one of the best preserved pueblos in the world, still inhabited to this day.
Pair these unique experiences with incredible museums, delicious indigenous restaurants, and beautiful natural wonders that are still considered sacred spaces and you can easily create an entire vacation centered on New Mexicoβs First Peoples. They donβt call it the βLand of Enchantmentβ for nothing. Whether youβre seeking out petroglyphs or want to attend a Pow Wow, these are the best Native American cultural experiences in New Mexico!
New Mexico is home to 23 federally recognized tribes.
When the Founding Fathers sat down to design American democracy, they didn't just look to ancient Greece or European philosophy.
They looked next door.
George Washington and Benjamin Franklin are documented to have greatly admired the concepts, principles, and governmental practices of the Haudenosaunee, the Six Nations of the Iroquois Confederacy.
As early as 1744, Iroquois leader Canassatego stood before colonial leaders and urged The Pennsylvania Gazette them to unite, telling them that the strength of the Haudenosaunee came from their union, and that the colonies would gain power by following the same path.
When the Continental Congress met in Philadelphia in 1776, they actually invited representatives from the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. An Onondaga sachem gave John Hancock the Iroquois name Karanduawn, meaning "The Great Tree", as a gesture of respect.
In 1988, the U.S. Congress formally passed a resolution acknowledging the contribution of the Six Nations of the Iroquois Confederacy to the development of American government.
