Fun fact: the first computer was created only 12 years after Native Americans were given citizenship, also both Apple and Microsoft are older than Native American's right to practice traditional religions, and the end of residential schools. This stuff isn't as old as you think.

When colonizers first came to "the Americas" it was so well maintained by the indigenous population the colonizers called it paradise. Since then they've taken away our ability to protect the land and done everything in their power to turn that paradise into a burning hellscape.

Saying Natives have survived genocide implies it's over, but we're still going through it today. We make up less than 1% of the US population. Our scared sites and homes are still being destroyed. We lose bits of our cultures everyday. We are still in the late stages of genocide.

I love seeing Palestinians dance. It may seem small but it's such a powerful act. As a Lakota after so many wars with the u.s the thing that scared them the most was when we started dancing. Our nation survived, I know Palestine will too and I hope one day we can dance together.

Yep comes from an Ojibwe word nawataweesee(?) Which means dirty snakes or something like that then when they started trading with the French the they told them that was our name. Then the French added ioux to make it pural and shortened it to Sioux and forced the name on us.

One cool thing about Plains Tribes pre contact is that we had a shared sign language for trade which every single person would have to learn, and so if anyone was deaf or mute they wouldn't have much of a problem communicating because everyone already knew how to sign.

yt ppl before you ask this question I want you to ask yourselves why you think Natives should put our people at risk for y'all like this? also ask yourselves why the only time you think about reservations is when things are bad for you and want to use us.
Serious q: can Native American reservations offer abortions, even within the borders of abortion-banning states, due to tribal sovereignty?

There's Lakota elders today that remember meeting men who fought at Greasy Grass, and survivors of Wounded Knee. They've lived all the hardships of our people and never asked if our ancestors "would've fought harder." They just keep fighting for our future, so do the rest of us.

The thing about white vegans saying Indigenous traditions of eating meat are immoral is that it's entirely based in colonial ideas of morality. The same ideas that have been used to justify the genocide of my people. So I really don't give a shit what white vegans think is moral.

This is just a reminder that saying: "there's not very many *insert Native Nation* so they can't cast them in a role." Is super anti-Indigenous. You're basically saying that because people have experienced genocide they don't deserve proper representation.

Many Natives had the ability to say "I love you" taken away in boarding schools, when they had children they couldn't express their love and that pain got passed down. It's important to remember sometimes breaking the cycle of trauma can just mean telling your kids you love them.

When is the last time black people have included or stood up for the indigenous/native Americans in this country? It’s all a me me me mentality in America. White people aren’t all evil and I resent that accusation from my perspective. Many of us believe in equality for all.

Being Native has nothing to do with blood. It's all about cultural stuff; like what kind of soda you drink, or how many times you've been play fighting with your cousins and it turned into a real fight.

I'll be honest, it doesn't sit right with me when Natives who've never lived on the Rez make jokes about the Rez/Rez life. Feels wrong when y'all make jokes about things you've never experienced or lived with, and some of y'alls jokes feel like they're just fetishizing Rez life.
