its so fucked that not only did they erase our languages and beat and kill our people for using them but they stole the words of important tribes and important people and used them for the military and for trees and for food and for summer camps. average native american name is seen by non ntvs as a joke or something to use or consume, not a human being

reblogs got turned off but this deserves preservation

i fucking swear trying to talk about native american issues is EXHAUSTING!!! cuz will the government do anything to improve living conditions on reservations??? will the government do anything to give native's our land back??? will they give us THE BODIES OF OUR FUCKING CHILDREN BACK???? NO, NO THEY FUCKING WONT!!! but they can tell sports teams to change their names back to SLURS because "it didn't need to change" and "it just doesnt have the same ring to it"!!! and articles USING THE SLUR IN THEIR TITLES!!! and then NO ONE FUCKING TAKES IT FUCKING SERIOUSLY!!!!!

If your employers don't want you talking about your salary with your coworkers, it's because someone is being underpaid. Full stop. There is no innocent reason for not wanting employees to discuss their paychecks with each other.

Just got back from Colorado. Been fly fishing at least once a week for about a year. Got two wild trout in a creek while there finally feeling like I sort of understand how to fly fish.

regularly getting tags like this on my posts about horrific abuses wrt detentions and deportations by the trump administration and just to be clear. you are all baby brained. do you think every single one of the thousands of jackbooted thugs in dhs and ice were hired in the last 3 months. do you think nothing the democrats did had anything to do with leading us here. the road to hell is paved with lesser evils

biden 2024

report released in 2024 documenting louisiana ICE detention centers under biden 2022-2024, same ones currently being used to disappear migrants and pro-palestine political dissidents by the trump admin now:

everything in this post i made 8 months ago about biden & harris admin policies and harris's proposed policies during her campaign when she bragged that she would be tougher on the border than trump. of course you cannot beat trump at this but the fact is she tried to claim that she did as vp and would as president in order to court centrists and moderate republicans, like many democrats last cycle she ran by trying to outflank republicans on the right and in doing so moved the overton window so far that you had liberals happily cheering for border police on stage at the dnc. if you refuse to acknowledge that that is in any way connected to what is happening right now? that democrats also condemning student activists because of their defense of palestine and calling militarized police in to brutalize them for over a year was a direct line to this? that the fact of the palestine exception causing democratic leadership to fail abysmally to respond to early abductions by the trump admin bc they agreed with those disappearances ideologically just at most not in procedure is the very reason those activists were among the first most high profile targets? there's a reason fascists target those people first! because you will blink when it's time to defend them! it's in the fucking poem!! my god

the reason you, a white american, believe that white americans don't have culture is the same reason fish don't believe in water

AN ODE TO THE NAVAJO CODE TALKERS - A poem by Ali Nahdee

This was supposed to be released on Memorial Day, but then many, many things happened.

I'm late, but I still saw this through. I hope you enjoy. It's very different from the videos I usually do.

“Oh boo hoo you shouldn’t ask your friends for favors we’re all adults”

I just spent three hours pulling up carpet and staples for a friend’s home renovation and we all did nothing but chat and joke and have wonderful conversation the whole time.

Helping somebody move or renovate or giving them a ride to the airport is functionally the same as going mini-golfing or playing a board game: it’s an activity that you do that is made more fun by having good company, and which provides something to talk about when the conversation lulls.
