Author's StatementThis is a photo of my homelands from the spiritual center of the [tribe’s name], where we believe the Great Spirit lives during the summer months. In our language, we use a phrase “b’noswe” that means “between earth and sky,” meaning a balance between the Sky World and the Underwater World, also where humans live. Our island home is particularly breathtaking in the summer. I wanted to work in the environmental remediation industry to protect places like this. And return damaged places back to this. Harmony. I have the education, skillset, knowledge, and career experience to do that. I feel lucky in that regard. This is me recharging from that beauty and harmony.
