“My hope is that we can learn that we can be indigenous and all these other things: Catholic, worldly, a diplomat, a scientist, etc. My hope is that being indigenous is not limited,” said Maka Clifford in the pages of America last year. Maka is the director of curriculum and assessment at the Red Cloud Indian School, a Catholic school led by the Jesuits and the Lakota people. Maka was born on the Pine Ridge Reservation and graduated from Red Cloud in 2005. After studying in California, New York and Japan, Maka realized his calling to be involved in indigenous studies and human rights. He returned to Red Cloud in 2013. We talk to Maka about what it means to be a Lakota Catholic, the controversial history of Jesuit-run and boarding schools, Lakota spirituality and teaching indigenous students in 2018. Last week, the editors of America stated that the nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court should be withdrawn. We discuss the magazine’s previous support of the nomination and why the editors decided to withdraw it. In sexual abuse news, Pope Francis laicizes Chile’s Fernando Karadima. “The Better Church Governance Group” is a new organization founded by wealthy Catholics to investigate the College of Cardinals. And for the feast of St. Francis, we have a story about a dog that completes the Camino de Santiago. As always, you can email us at jesuitical@americamedia.org or tweet us on Twitter.

This morning, I've been describing some challenging (repeating) situations we've found ourselves in.

The deaths of our colleagues are preventable.

The human trafficking we are monitoring is preventable.

I somehow don't think it's ironic at all (?) that often, a way we can prevent these horrible things is also a way we can all feel better most effortlessly.

Survivors of extreme violence, intersectional hardship, protracted trauma, environmental illness, and toxic injury have been putting their lives especially on the line in order to compile the information and materials is that are part of our Intuitive Community Knowledgebase.

When we listen closely and consistently to what they have to say, we have tremendously straightforward solutions to employ immediately.

These solutions are life-saving every single day.

Members of our network are being literally, physically tortured to death each day.

We show up for work anyway.

Most of the people and groups we try to reach are not disabled, but they have very challenging problems that they don't know how to address.

Most of the suffering we are witnessing in abled communities is being caused by the problem of not noticing the survivors who have solved those problems already.

All of our problems are solved much more easily when we join one another in consistent, caring community.

All of our problems are solved much more easily when we believe together that we can collaborate to create resilient income streams.

All of our problems are solved much more easily when we heed and honor the lived expertise of those who have survived greatest severity.

All of our problems are solved much more easily when we remember that the most marginalized members of our communities, and people who are undeservedly excluded from community, are all individuals who are most crucially needed, who must crucially be supported, in order for every member of any community to be safe.

We have been using these precepts and others to survive horrific experiences every day.

This is part of what has been painstakingly dedicated into our knowledgebase.

How can we share it more widely so that we can all be more safe?

What have we not so far managed to say?

What are the questions that lead us toward finally completing these amazing and necessary survivor-led efforts?

Thank you for reading.

March 11, 2021. Please join us Saturdays and Wednesdays for weekly Torah, sacred study, meals, prayer, and music led by survivors of trafficking & ritual abuse.
