"You're a jittery little thing, aren't you?"

Happy Halloween! 🎃 Dressed up as Leia Organa from Star Wars: Return of the Jedi during the battle of Endor 🌌 Leia joined forces with the Ewoks of Bright Tree Village, & combined her experience with Rebel guerrilla warfare & ambush strategies with the Ewoks' deep knowledge of forest terrain & combat tactics to plan an attack on the Imperial shield generator. When the Rebel strike team was captured, Wicket rallied the Ewok warriors, & Leia fought alongside them, defeating the stormtroopers & successfully destroying the shield generator. Because she organized alongside the Ewoks, the indigenous inhabitants of the forest moon of Endor, the Death Star was destroyed & the collapse of the Galactic Empire brought an era of peace & prosperity to the galaxy.

Episode VI serves as a reminder that if we want the Empire to be destroyed, the one we live in as we know it, we cannot do it alone; we have to organize & fight together. And indigenous voices should be prioritized & heard, indigenous lives & our lands should be protected. We are not free until all of us are free. I pray for the liberation of indigenous people from around the world, & that one day, whether in my lifetime or in the next, or after, that the Empire will fall.

My dad Robert Jiron took these photos of me in Na pi bien'ai ⛰️📸 It was nice standing amongst the na kheurai with you 💛 Heur'kem for your help! 🙌🏼 I had fun! 😊

I feel like Leia would like Dido lol 🎶

Never got to see the seasons change up north near Chama, but why go so far when I can see it change on Tiwa lands? 🌲🌳🍁🍂

NOT FOR SALE- Here's a butterfly pin & a coral bracelet I repaired for Aliyah Shutiva 🦋🩵💚❤️💚🩵🦋 Before I repaired the pin, it was tarished & lightly scratched with the centerpiece stone missing. So I gently cleaned, sanded, & polished it as well as sanded & set a new turquoise cabachon into the bezel setting & now it's as if it's brand new! ✨️As for the coral bracelet, one stone was severely cracked/chipped while another was missing. So I gently cleaned, sanded, & polished the bracelet then set two Mediterranean coral cabachons & now it's ready to wear! 🤩

Heur'kem/Ha'wuh/Dawa'eh Aliyah for your love, support, trust, patience, & kindness! 🙌🏼 It means so much to me & I'm so happy I got to repair these peices for you! 🌈🌻🩵 May these pieces bring you many more years of joy & protection 🙏🏼❤️ Also happy feast! 🌅

NOT FOR SALE- Here's a squash blossom I repaired, cleaned, & polished for Debra 🤍🩶🖤🩶🤍 Before I worked on it, it was completely unwearable, as the outer strand snapped apart by the centerpiece, leaving some silver beads missing. It was also tarnished. But I replaced the lost silver beads, cleaned, & polished every single piece of silver, restrung it all together & now it looks brand new and is ready to be worn again! 🌟 I'm happy with how the squash blossom came out after all the hard work I put into it! Heur'kem/Ha'wuh/Dawa'eh for your love, trust, patience, & support Debra! 🙌🏼🙏🏼 I'm happy you & your family get to wear this necklace once more 🌻🌈

NO LONGER ACCEPTING REPAIRS INDEFINITELY. THOSE WHO HAVE ALREADY BEEN GIVEN QUOTES ON JEWELRY REPAIRS ARE THE EXCEPTION.
