3) Across social media, I saw Native people thrilled that Māori director and writer Taika Waititi did a land acknowledgement at the Oscars.
Act on that acknowledgement by taking action. Learn from Native people and writings! Join us at NMAI! And bring friends.

4) In tweet 2 of this thread I noted that Traci Sorell will be reading. The illustrator for her book is @weshoyot. Waititi’s remarks referenced Native peoples of California. That means Weshoyot. Get AT THE MOUNTAINS BASE.
