Please also make time to educate yourself about the murdered Indian babies at boarding schools in the US and Canada. These were babies ripped from their parents arms, sent away to learn to “not to be Indian”, to never return home. My grandparents generation.
It’s no longer about repub vs democrat. It’s the religious fanatics vs everyone that doesn’t believe exactly as they do. As an Indigenous person, I take great offense to this. One of the supposed tenants of the “formation” of this country was religious freedom.
@exavierpope
I’m wondering how many times a racist expletive was used by them white guys while they had the upper hand? You know N-bombs were dropping! That’s the basis for this being elevated to a hate crime, which I support.
I just wanted to let y’all know this is my Brother Ricky Sheridan. He’s the cheerleading coach for Omaha Nation Schools on the Rez and he Fukn Rocks!!! Hiyalooooooo!!!
Waking up to hear the news of a shooting at Oglala Nation powwow last night. The fact that gun violence has invaded our sacred circles and gatherings is heartbreaking. What’s supposed to be a time for homecoming and families gathering has turned into tragedy. Prayers to Creator.
It wasn’t until 1978 when the Indigenous People of this land were “legally” able to practice their centuries old closely held beliefs. Todays SCOTUS decision is against the founding supposed principal of the US.
A’hooo. Just arrived. Got one for my girls. My late FIL worked alongside Chief Mankiller as he was part of the Cherokee Nation Supreme Court. Myself, I was honored to be asked to sing an honor song for her at a national Indian housing conference. It is an honor to have this. Hoat

To add to your comment, my Omaha Tribal relative, Mr. Phillips, is a Vietnam Vet. He is a member of the Helushka Society of Our People. This is exclusive to only those Soldier Boys and Girls that have served to protect Our existence. Thank you for recognizing him.
So much for the originalists interpretation of the Constitution. Again its made disgustingly obvious that unless you believe the white man’s perspective of the world, you don’t count, you’re inherently wrong. There is no exception. Again back to: “merciless Indian Savages.” FU!!
But, the Indigenous population of this country know first hand that this really means white people beliefs and their continued indoctrination on this country. Religious freedom?
@DarrylLeroux
And those plumes and any other feathers that she has needs to be removed from her possession. Immediately. She is in violation of the American Indian Religious Freedom Act of 1978. And, since she is not an enrolled member, shouldn’t have had them to begin with. False pretenses.
On Indigenous People’s Day we have the Chiefs playing, fans chanting nonsense and doing the chop…and the

says “End Racism” in the end zone. The chop is some racist bullshit. “Honoring”, my brown ass.
A’ho. E’ withe won’ gtha’. (All my relations). Today, my People are having a hard time. Specifically the Cook and Aldrich families. My relative, Ms. Ashlea Aldridge, 29, and a mother of two babies had been found, murdered. A victim of domestic violence. This young lady had the
@DennisLBaker
As someone from another Tribe in another state, but currently reside in OK, I have a simple question for stitt? What in the world would E OK look like today if not for the “problematic”Tribal investment? And Cherokee Nation in particular? It’s clear the “problem” is Sovereignty.

My prayer is that Uncle can return to his homeland. Walk on that ground again, be welcomed by his People and be celebrated as the hero he is. Wakonda hear my prayer. A’ho.
Relatives, I just found out a young man took his life back home on my Rez. Our young people, we enjoy watching them ball out. But we gotta keep loving them when they’re done playing. I’m just heart broken for my People. 💔
@CamSpradling
Not to mention that a relative of his once felt it necessary to take out an order of protection against him. But, sure, let’s put this uneducated and unstable guy in with our kids.
He’s such a prick that brings more hate and absolutely zero value to the children of OK. He sees himself as some sort of moral messenger, but his message is divisiveness and his white supremacy agenda. Great work OK for voting this POS in.
@tulsaworld
Wow. That’s pretty rich. His original demand of Tribe’s was so disrespectful and outside of the current compact. He couldn’t even do the courtesy of contacting the Tribes prior to his demand being known in the press. Then didn’t show up at the first mtg. We are talking about
Today it’s been 13 years since my Dad left me. Still got his number in my phone. This pic is when he was healthy. Just been staring in his eyes all day. Wanting to touch his face. Put my arms around him. Wish I could hear his voice. I’ll always be lonely for him.

@LammaticHama
Farmers also know, and are adamant about what constitutes their land boundaries. Damn straight he knew what he was doing. Period.
@ChuckHoskin_Jr
The conservative christian movement and their elevation of gun worship to that of their god is bizarre. And so are their violent tendencies.
@rebeccanagle
It’s the children. The yt people came to us and stole the children. Literally ripped them away. My grandma had her own hiding spot, and so did her brothers and sisters in the woods. Great Grandma would tell them to “Go!” And they would be terrified, and hid.
@tulsaworld
hundreds of millions of dollars! I’m sure he sought fit to show up at non-Indian business that have been willing to spend far less in OK. The Tribe’s will not take a back seat, and have no need to. They have a proven track record that is far different than his own business!
@86stitt
If you haven’t listened to the In Trust podcast on the Osage and the Drummond involvement, I highly recommend you do. It’s a challenging listen because of the blatant disregard for my Osage relatives and their lives. Yet, I feel it’s a necessary listen.
A little something about the Osage movie coming out. I really feel what the Wa Zha Zhè are saying. Especially
@AuntyCarpetWeed
(Little Mom) has to say. I feel their angst and apprehension. Wi wi tum, these are my own, MY relatives. Way back there there was 5 Tribes, that composed
Happy Indigenous People’s Day! I appreciate my Native Relatives on this bird app. I’m so happy to interact and get to know y’all. We gotta stay together! Celebrate yourselves today! You are Indigenously Amazing!! HOAT!!
I’m a 54 yr old Native kid from Nebraska, livin in OK. Fairly recently I beat the shit outta cancer. My A1C is 4.7, and I come from an entire family of diabetics. I take my mental health just as serious. Creator kept It’s promise to me, I’m for damn sure gonna keep mine. ✌🏾
Denver March MC gettin after people for being “woke” after he made a joke that was crude at best. Saying you could rent a NDN child for “thousands of dollars for a couple hours” and then pivoting to colonization to wash it over. Not cool.
@LakotaMan1
This is my close relative. Please support my humble Omaha Tribe is making her original hospital, in Walthill, NE, a National Landmark. Please google the Omaha Tribes contact information and ask for the Tribal Chairman. WibthahaN. Thank you!
It is official as official can be! I have signed, accepting the position and compensation package with the Housing Assistance Council. This is such a good thing. 🔊SOMEBODY SCREEAAAMMMM!!!
This is my Dad. The way I knew him. Always at the drum.That look on his face, the same as when he and I would really visit. Just happened across this pic. I’m filled me with so much emotion. He’s been gone for 12 years. I miss my Dad. Bad. 😢
Hey y’all, at the risk of saying something, I have to say something. My bro, our bro
@MightBeCuzins
has experienced something absolutely horrible and needs support. Please check on him especially if you’re in the area and know him personally. Please. ✌🏾
I show y’all Guppy all the time (I’m not apologizing for that, it’s necessary), but don’t ever forget who the little Queen is. That’s right, it’s Tiny.
@SoonerAtty
He thinks he’s slick with his lies and depends on fear mongering with his constant over use of “indoctrination” and other intentionally divisive terms.
@rebeccanagle
With the recent discovery of how corrupt and corruptible the supreme court is, I now wonder who paid them off for each decision that comes down? They’ve earned that.
damn relatives…lost one of my last aunties today. the last couple of years has completely decimated my family. i come from a big family on the Omaha Reservation, there’s only a few of us left. Wakonda wani’they ho. Creator heal us. 😢 💔 damn…
Today is my Dad’s birthday, he would’ve been 73. I don’t have any pictures of him and I, this is the best I can do. I sure am lonely for him. Always have been. Like many of us, I didn’t grow up with my Dad. It wasn’t until my mid 20’s when we started to get to know each other.
I have to say that
@Qchasinghorse
is not breaking down barriers, she is absolutely obliterating them!! As a guy that grew up in the 80’s VS Angels were representative of everything beautiful and sexy. To see a Native claiming this space is completely amazing!! Hiyaloooooo!!!!
