1/ When was the last time you endured a two month reminder of the continued genocide of your people? Indigenous people are in the midst of it. September 30 Orange Shirt Day The scourge of colonialism that was the boarding/residential "school" system. Your reeducation camps stole our Native youth in service to american exceptionalism and assimilation. They returned shells of themselves, if they returned at all. Some we are still trying to bring home.
Today is #orangeshirtday2024. Today we remember all those who survived the reeducation camps (what your government euphemistically called federal Indian boarding "schools") and all those who never made it home. image
I was looking for something else when this old tweet of mine popped up and dang if past me didn't really *get* future me. image
Listen up non Natives: Another reminder that Natives don't get polled. Even exit polls like CNNs were disregarding the Native vote by calling us "something else" while we delivered Arizona and Georgia for Biden. Natives may not be important to pollsters but we matter when it counts. BREATHE. WE GOT YOU.
1/ WARNING: I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS STILL HAPPENING AND IT'S WHY NATIVE MASCOTS HAVE TO GO ALSO THERE'S A PIC THAT MIGHT TURN YOUR STOMACH Oklahoma's Spiro Public Schools, located on the Chahta Nation Reservation, played a football game against the Pocola Indians September 13. In order to get the Spiro Bulldogs raring to go the administration and staff decided that genocide ribbons were the best way to go. #thetimeisnow #notyourmascot #changethename image
What it's like to speak while Native on the internet part 2: Atlanta baseball team fans make me white Invalidating Indigeneity based on colorism is a favorite pastime of pro sports fans. But please, do go on about how your team name is honoring us.
