After the Nex Benedict Indigiqueer panel at IJA a young trans person came up to me and thanked me for saying Nex was Chahta despite not being enrolled.

They're disconnected Hopi and want to learn even though they're "not really Hopi".

I gave them the same advice our Auntie Paula gave to me: You're Hopi. Be Hopi.

They thanked me again and said they'd keep going no matter what anyone says.

Today was a good day.
