My uncle died from cancer last week. He worked for freedom mortgage and they denied him medical leave when the man was dying. All week they’ve been calling and fedexing him letters threatening his job because he didn’t show up to work BECAUSE HE WAS DEAD.
We 100% live in hell because how are you gunna pause a genocide on the Indigenous people of Palestine so you can celebrate a holiday that is also based on a genocide of the Indigenous people of the US
And when my mom called to tell them the news they didn’t give a single fuck. Not one “I’m sorry for your loss” or “our condolences”. Nothing. What a disgusting company.
Every time an indigenous person puts a tipi up somewhere we’re forced to take it down, but it’s totally fine when it’s white people using it for a bullshit aesthetic.
This girl used my tweet word for word and I can’t stop laughing at the irony of stealing a tweet from an Indigenous person and posting it as their own ON THANKSGIVING lmao
One of the biggest reasons is bc this spot was originally a sacred site to the Oglala Lakota’s that was protected by a treaty. The US went against the treaty and stole the Black Hills in 1876 over gold. Then in 1927 the gov chose to deface the sacred stolen land as an insult.
My tweet calling out my late uncles job for treating his death so horribly went viral to the point where his employer keeps calling my mom and when they asked to speak to me directly she said “My daughter is an anti-capitalist. Trust me, you don’t want her to speak to you.” LOL
My mom made me this jacket out of a vintage Pendleton blanket. She took a sewing class and everything just to make me this. One of the most meaningful gifts I’ve ever been given. 🫶🏽
NEX BENEDICT WAS CHEROKEE
NEX BENEDICT WAS TWO SPIRIT
This was not only a lgbtq+ hate crime and a murder of a minor, but it was also a racially charged hate crime. Their identity is being white washed in every post I read.
@SassyMetisChick
Yeah I remember her getting baptized and taking pictures of her throwing out all her spiritual/craft books on Instagram a couple years ago. Back in like 2010 I remember pictures of her wearing nazi shit on social media. What a clown.
In every state cosmetologist are required to go to school for 1500+ hours to even qualify for the state testing. It takes 600 hours to qualify to become a police officer.
I’ve had Native men in my mentions and messages saying that what I speak on is invalid because I’m a slut that has an onlyfans and all I gotta say is…our community is small, and I will never hesitate to punch you in the fucking face. Watch your mouth.
So yt environmental activists are using Land Back and saying the US government has ruined “their land” now? Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for yt ppl using their privilege to lift up Indigenous voices but don’t for one second think we are the same or that this is your land.
Aurora PD is having such a hard time hiring/keeping employees that they’re calling people who have resumé’s on indeed. They called an ex military pal of mine saying they noticed he had military experience and his response was “ok & you want me to use it on civilians now?” lmao
Just got a paid teaching gig where I’ll be teaching Indigenous kids how to make their own traditional regalia. 3 days of work that pays more than my salon job does in a month. I think it’s time to take a leap of faith and go for the career change that I’m passionate about. 🙏🏽
Happy Earth Day to all the Indigenous people who risk their lives to protect our land from pipelines, land stealing, corporations, and our corrupt government. If you’re a non-Native donating money today, donate to a Native org.
None of my family members know that I’ve been steadily addicted to cocaine the last two years. I’m 33 days sober today, and I think I’m finally going to share that struggle of mine with the person who knows me best. I just want her to be proud of me.
Anyone who’s neurodivergent will understand what I’m about to say. My phone has been on dnd since apple released that feature 11 yrs ago. No one could get me to answer the phone. After 11 years I finally turned it off bc I don’t want to miss a single second talking to my bf.
The Catholic Indian boarding school my grandmother is a survivor of is currently trying to erase their history of genocide and violent indoctrination of Indigenous children. I’m gathering info for a post about it. I am openly asking support from ntv twitter to get the word out.
It’s come to my attention that the organization planning marches and rallies called “We Are Love Denver” are employees of Mayor Hancock and are working with Denver PD. They are doing this for PR. They are trying to silence the real people at these protests.
#denverprotests
For all the yt people people in the comments asking to be educated, please do your own research or something. I spend every day of my life educating people on the racism Indigenous people go through. I’m tired.
“Wow a lot of Native American regalia is inspired by western fashion.”
Lmao no hunny
Indigenous people inspired western fashion, and architecture, and some of the English language, and a whole lot of stuff. Be in the know.
I have a question for Native people who aren’t fluent speakers. You ever hear your own language and feel this deep emotional response? You know you’ve spoken those words in another life. You feel it like the language is embedded in your dna (because it is).
Denver Public Schools is currently trying to shut down one of the only Indigenous schools in CO which was started and is ran by my mother. I need ntv twitter to rally and share in order to save one of the only safe spaces we have for our kids in this city.
The Supreme Court ruled the U.S. govt is not responsible for ensuring water access for Indigenous tribes in a 5-4 vote.
Nearly 1 in 3 people who live on the Navajo Nation reservation do not have access to clean water, despite living alongside the Colorado River.
Somebody asked me why I would want to survive an apocalypse if it were to ever happen while I was at the bar last night and all I said was “because a lot of you will die and I want my fucking land back” lol 💀

For people who don’t live in Colorado, Elijah McClain was murdered by the same police department that didn’t fire officers for getting DUI’s on the job, and they’re the same ones who arrested the theater killer calmly and unharmed. This state has avoided this for some time now.
Last weekend I was sexually harassed by a coworker outside of work. After rejecting this persons advances they decided to try to get me fired. As a survivor of sexual assault and rape, I didn’t have it in me to fight them on it. I resigned this morning. On top of that,
In Islam their creator is Allah. In Lakota our creator is Tunkasila. We are both survivors of genocide. Both displaced and slaughtered over colonialism for generations. All we can do now is pray. All we can do now is fight. Which is all any of us have known for a very long time.
My client (who I’ve never seen before) just said to me “omg you’re Native American?! I though all the Indians were killed off!” And it took every ounce of grace inside my body not to put her in a chokehold. I don’t have it in me to deal with these fucking people today.
Idk which white person needs to hear this but Native people didn’t lose the Indian Wars. The end goal was to kill us all. They tried every type of genocide they could think of, but we’re still here. Our population rises every day and one day we’ll have our landback. So lol
ATTN NTV TWITTER: Denver March Powwow has banned Lakota youth from attending because they were protesting for Palestine. This is not only cowardly but it’s also a violation of the 1st amendment. This event is ran by SCFD. As a nonprofit who accepts public funds, they shouldn’t be
I appreciate the people warning me about being careful about my views on social media but my family helped start the American Indian Movement. Baby, I’ve been on that FBI list for a long time. I’m not afraid of them.
