“She Rides for the Ones Who Couldn’t”

She does not ride for glory —
she rides for memory.
For every grandmother whose footsteps
were erased by dust and history,
she lets the earth feel them again
through the hooves of her horse.

Her daughter rides behind her,
small hands holding the past,
small heart learning the future.
Not afraid —
because a child raised in courage
does not learn fear,
only direction.

Feathers trail behind them like comets,
carrying prayers too ancient for words,
too sacred for silence.

She is not fleeing,
she is not chasing —
she is returning
to the place where every Native woman
was once a constellation
the world forgot to name.

Good morning fellow forensic nurses-
A message was sent out November 4th regarding this weeks meeting. That email did not reach some of you.

Here is the message listed below. I will add that at this time, there will be no virtual meeting option. Minutes will be sent out to those who can not attend and expressed interest in joining this founding group.

“A survey was sent out a few weeks ago (original email included below) asking for input regarding the current state of Forensic nursing regarding support from national organizations and any interest, along with viewpoints towards the creation of a Wisconsin statewide Forensic nursing organization. I apologize if that original email did not reach you. It was not my intent to exclude you. Thank you to the several nurses who took the survey and indicated interest, along with those who provided input and asked valuable questions.

I am happy to report that there are many nurses interested in the formation of a statewide forensic nursing organization. We are planning to meet this November 13 and 14th in Tomah, Wisconsin to collaborate and create. I understand that some of you cannot attend. For those who can join us, your input and experience, regardless of how long you have been practicing, is valued and I invite you to join us. There are many of us who are planning on arriving Wednesday evening, November 12. We plan to meet all day Thursday and Friday. If you have any questions or plan on joining us, please reach out to me for more information. Thank you all for the work that you do, for the help given into the patients that we serve, for your dedication to this profession.

With gratitude,
Courtney Bouthilet”

November is National Native American Heritage Month — a time to celebrate the rich traditions, languages, stories, and cultures of Indigenous peoples.

Wisconsin is home to many Native nations, each with vibrant histories and voices that continue to shape our state today.

At WHS Press, we’re proud to publish works written by and about Indigenous authors — from Patty Loew’s exploration of the Ojibwe’s Seventh Generation philosophy to Thomas Pecore Weso’s stories and recipes from the Menominee Reservation, and many others.
