September 28, 2023 began in prayer and celebration and ended in an attempted mass shooting by Trump supporter Ryan Martinez. Relative defender Jacob Johns (Hopi and Akimel O’odham) was shot in the stomach by Martinez but miraculously survived.

Nearly 10 months later, friends and comrades came together for the opening night of “Forward Movement,” an art exhibition featuring the work of Johns and the Tewa Basin Collective. Comrade Justine Teba, who was at the shooting, attended the opening night and interviewed Jacob about the shooting, his long road to recovery, and the meaning of Indigenous solidarity.
