when I drew this comic 3 years ago I had NO idea how far it would reach. I'm happy to finally share a corrected version with proper abbreviations, and even MORE state names of indigenous origin ♥️

however, the goal of this comic was to inspire people to do your OWN research on indigenous history. To question everything we have been taught, and everything that has been pointedly left out. This erasure, this “forgetting”, of history is not just of the past… it is happening now. - Across so-called Canada, the US, and US-occupied islands, native women are victims of murder at 10-12x the rate of non-native people, and are the most likely to go missing without being searched for by the law. - Native reservations have the highest rates of poverty in the US, with over HALF of tribal homes with no access to clean water (with more joining this list by the year) - Native people are 6-10x more likely to be unhoused than the rest of the population, and native teens suffer suicide rates higher than any other demographic. This list of modern day genocide goes on (thank you for compiling @theindigenousanarchist <3) and yet take a look at those environmental stats!

Native people manage to do SO much for the planet as a whole - thanklessly - and with all this stacked against them. Don't even get me started on kin fighting in south america. Could you imagine if there was help? #landback is resistance to genocide, and it is the key to saving our warming earth.

So look into it and the other hashtags, cuz a cartoon goose ain't a substitute for a proper education. Love to my grandparents who always kept a map of tribal territories of turtle island on their wall, to speaking on our Tsalagi & Saponi heritage. Love & solidarity forever, happy research, and happy #indigenouspeoplesday

(Also, if you care to support the artist, I'm publishing a book ! and writing another - a fantastical afroindigenous graphic novel - that I post exclusively about with tons of other art on my patreon.)

The Lenape Nation of Pennsylvania is looking for support in gaining state recognition in Pennsylvania!

There are sample letters on their website, which you can send to your Pennsylvania state legislators about the Lenape of Pennsylvania receiving state recognition.

Happy Indigenous Peoples Day!

Consider helping an Afro Indigenous and reneconnecting Nahua lesbian couple!!!

Things have been really tight for us, my partners mother passed, and I dont have the resources to start working again (outside of selling art).

We have been dipping in and out of the negatives, so if anyone would like to redistribute some funds so we can get out of the negatives and get some groceries that would rock!

$150 goal!

Solidarity and love to all of our Indigenous comrades—and to all Indigenous peoples, the world over. May the murderous, destructive legacy of Columbus rot and be forgotten.
