It’s National Aunt and Uncle Day. We’re taking the time to talk about the role aunties play in our lives. Some of us were raised by our aunts. Others had aunts who occasionally stepped in to get us in line. Either way, aunts hold a special place in Native America. We’ll also get advice from everyone’s favorite aunt, Auntie Beachress. Send us your favorite auntie stories to comments@nativeamericacalling.com.

Tonia Jo Hall (Lakota, Dakota and Hidatsa) – comedian and motivational speaker
Kaila Bemo (Creek/Seminole) – mother and educator
Dawn Quigley (Turtle Mountain Ojibwe) – assistant professor St. Catherine University and a writer
