What does a bully look like?
Mehqueena had been coming home all week frustrated and all her confidence in school system gone.. She had been harassed in class by two girls whom had been filming her and posting up rude comments about her. When Queena tried to tell staff at the school what was going on, she was made to feel as if she was the instigator and that the possibility of her being bullied by these particular girls was farfetched. She was made to feel like if these girls did not like her it was because of something she had done.

Indigenous Values, Traditions and Circles through the Spirit of Homefulness
‘It’s getting really wet, now’ I thought, wincing with every footstep from a screw in my ankle. ‘Soon, it’ll be coming down too hard to move this library.’ My shoulders aching from moving shelves, books, and boxes from Uncle Al’s and Mama Dee’s Living (Really) Public Library. I know however that Mama Dee sits there, watching me from the corner in her altar, occasionally giving me thoughts to keep moving forward. The spirit I feel in there is heavy.
