Haven’t seen any indigenous pride flags / rep flags so as an indigenous chiricahua apache, I decide to make some of my own ! free to use for any use,this is pt ½ because I have no self control ! multi use as an indigenous pride flag, or as a ur fav is indigenous flag

NOTE - please do not use this for personal use if you are not indigenous ie. for your profile pic or something of that sort. this was made by an indigenous person for the indigenous community as we’re really lacking in any sort of public positivity or pride in our heritage.

this is NOT a gender or sexuality flag. indigenous is not a gender or sexuality, I simply thought we deserve an intertribal flag to represent our heritage.

Hey remember when they found over 200 bodies of native children buried behind a residential school and the world cared for... what, a week?

They've counted about 6,000-7,000 now, for those of you who do still care

Honestly i really hate fat positivity that is centered around 'softness' because i feel like the inevitable outcome is that fat people who dont fit into that borderline infantalised 'soft cuddly cutie' schtick will continue to be treated like disgusting undesirables

Im not soft, much of my body is muscular leaving the fat areas more firm and lumpy than squishy. My skin isnt soft and smooth, its very hairy and frequently riddled with eczema.

A lot of fat people still have bony elbows, knobbly knees, parts that poke and dig in if you try to lay your head on them.

Some fat people have saggy skin, as you age what was once plump and round becomes droopy and wrinkly.

Replacing "fat people are worthless because they are ugly" with " some fat people have worth because i can class them as cute squishy friends" or w/e weird fetishy descriptors people are using these days is completely useless because it will fall apart when you are confronted with a fat person who doesnt fit into the narrow section of fatness you deem romanticizable and therefore deserving of value

Racism/appropriation of indigenous ppl is RAMPANT in the furry community so let me say some things:

STOP calling ur characters w*nd*g*s. You don’t even have to change the design, just stop calling them that. Call them like. Skull deer or some shit there is no reason for you to be using that word.

Stop using “spirit animal” in referral to ur fursona. This is obvious idk why it even needs to be said.

Stop making “two wolves inside you” jokes. The “two wolves inside you” is in reference to a racist made up native proverb from a white dude.

You aren’t appreciating cultures by doing things we tell u to stop. If you want to appreciate: buy from indigenous ppl, respectfully learn about cultures, listen to native people, and DON’T MAKE EXCUSES.

✦My name is Nantan, I am a 20 year old Indigenous American of the Chiricahua Apache tribe, and I use he/they pronouns! This Tumblr blog has been created with the intentions to educate and share recourses by, about and with the indigenous american community.

✦⭒✦⭒some stuff about this blog⭒✦⭒✦

✦Our main focus is helping estranged native americans, whether young or old, reconnect with their heritage and step inside the loving community that is waiting to accept all brothers, sisters and siblings that have lost their way. 

    ⭒Despite this however, non-natives are welcome to engage and explore, as long as you remain respectful of our cultures & traditions and do not speak over natives!

   ⭒writers, artists and other creatives looking for accurate information on native cultures are also welcome in our space, however still following the same requirements as above    ⭒non-natives are welcome to ask genuine questions as well, but the submissions are open ONLY to natives.

✦This blog is friendly to natives of any background or life, including    ⭒queer    ⭒mixed (both white-indigenous and mixed poc)    ⭒white-passing    ⭒disabled    ⭒neurodivergent    ⭒suffering from mental illnesses such as psychotic or dissociative disorders

✦ we are, however, NOT friendly to    ⭒non-natives practicing cultural appropriation or speaking over native voices    ⭒pedophiles/”MAPs”, racists, queer-phobes, TERF’s, child abusers and others relating to these categories

✦We also do not support gatekeeping on the basis of blood quantum, due to the colonial background and racist origin that the bq system has.

  ⭒For more information on why native tribes no longer use the bq system and the harms it does to our community, please click here.

✦ the native recourse megalist is still under construction, but once it is complete you will be able to find the list linked here
