“As we gather this Thanksgiving, we wish the hearts of all people, Native and non-Native, are filled with hope and healing.

Together, let's pledge to dismantle the physical, economic, educational, psychological, and spiritual barriers that divide and oppress us.

Thanksgiving and Native American Heritage Day allow us to reflect on our collective history and celebrate the beauty, strength, and resilience of the Native tribes of North America.

We remember the generosity of the Wampanoag tribe to the European settlers.

We remember the hundreds of thousands of Native Americans who lost their lives because of the ignorance and greed of colonists and the genocide experienced by whole tribes.

We remember the vibrant and resilient Native descendants, families, and communities that persist to this day throughout the culture and the country.

We give thanks to people like Sharice Davids and Interior Secretary Deb Haaland, whose hard work and diligence helped place them in positions where the Native American voice can be heard.

Last but not least, we remember all of the friends and family of Native Hope who have embraced our mission of healing and storytelling. We give thanks to you for your support!”

Here's the history of Thanksgiving from the Native American perspective and why it's a controversial holiday for many.

🌈 it’s that time! we’re just over here gettin’ our pride on. like we do. all the dayz. as per ushz. (we have a rainbow logo for crying out loud). 🏳️‍🌈

but you know us buttercuppers…we are each kinda extra in our own way. so when there’s an opportunity (like pride month for ex) to be extra welcoming, extra joyful, extra bold, extra safe, extra affirming, extra creative, extra PROUD…we are all over that s**t. ❤️🧡💛💚💜🖤🤎

buttercup 🌼 is a queer-owned, inclusive micro salon with kind, affirming, hella talented professionals. we welcome all humans every day (only exclusion…anyone acting like an as***le 🚫…that’s a hard no. we just can’t with that mess).

wherever you identify on (or off) the gender binary…whoever you love…whatever you like to wear…we see you, support you, love you, ARE you. we understand the power of a haircut ✂️ that truly reflects YOUR unique identity. and the power of offering a safer space to get one. 💫

at buttercup, we all get to be who we are. freely. safely. quietly or loudly. we are a warm, fun, chill, inclusive place to BE. and we keep learning more about how to be more so! plus, we have good snacks. 🍭🍪☕️

PRIDE month and EVERY month…we see you, we love you. and…we want to do your hair! text or call 575-224-2269 for questions, appointments or tours ☎️

it’s prom time! excited? anxious? neutral? tbh…we are sort of blown away by you gen z’ers. a lot of you have truly amazing hair, make up and styling skills. not to mention a generational self awareness that is kind of next level. we actually think you might be here to save the world. but…no pressure. seriously, you simply being you makes it an infinitely better place.

so back to prom…if you are doing the prom thing and you want a place to go for a self affirming hair cut, color or style or a skin glow up, we are a safe space for all the teen humans. we love you! have a great night & shine bright! if you want, text us at 575-224-2269 or dm us to check us out, make an appointment or ask us any questions!
