🌟 Happy American Indian Day! 🌟

Today, we celebrate the rich and diverse cultures, traditions, and contributions of Native Americans. 🌾✨

🌍 Native lands are not just a part of history; they are a vital and thriving aspect of our present and future. Let's honor and respect the Indigenous peoples of this land and learn from their wisdom.

🌄 Today, and every day, let's commit to fostering understanding, respecting diversity, and working towards a more inclusive and equitable world for all. 🤝🌎

Tacoma is on the Indigenous land of the Puyallup People. They--like many tribes around the Puget Sound--speak the Twulshootseed (or Lushootseed) language. Though once categorized as endangered, the language is thriving. It's beautiful to hear, and when spoken, it reflects the sounds in the region: waves washing on a shore, the call of a stellar jay, or walking on fresh snow.

In 2009, type designer Juliet Shen worked with the Tulalip tribes, north of Seattle, to create a Lushootseed font. The font was also cut in wood at the Hamilton Wood Type & Printing Museum in both 10 and 12-line to be used for summer language programs. At Juliet's suggestion, the Tulalip tribes generously lent the Lushootseed wood type for a visit to Tacoma this past month. While the primary focus of the Puyallup Tribal Language Program is revitalizing Twulshootseed and implementing day-to-day usage of the language, Program Director Amber Hayward was generous with her time and knowledge. (To learn more about Amber's amazing work with her team watch Virtual Heritage Cafe.) In our discussions, it became clear that setting and printing the basic virtues of Lushootseed culture would be just right. With Amber's help, you can learn how to pronounce these virtues.

Offered during Native American Heritage Month, and ready to display in your home, the limited edition print reads: ƛ̓ububƛ̓ub, kʷaxʷalikʷ, ʔabalikʷ BE KIND, BE HELPFUL, BE SHARING are basic virtues of Lushootseed culture, and the language spoken by tribes in the Puget Sound region. In Tacoma we acknowledge we live on the Indigenous lands of the Puyallup People, who cared for their ancestral lands before the Medicine Creek Treaty of 1854 removed native peoples to clear way for colonial settlement. We are grateful to the Puyallup Tribe of Indians, who continue to be leaders for justice in our community.

Printed in an edition of 115 copies, all proceeds support the Puyallup Tribal Language Program and their mission. They can be purchased for $30—apply code LOCAL for pickup in Tacoma and we'll make arrangements. And here's a free downloadable link to print your own grayscale version at home. To learn more about the lands, languages and treaties where you live, Native Land Digital is a good place to start.

Posted @withregram • @ohkairyn Anyone else find it weird when non-indigenous organizations ask indigenous folk to come in and deliver these land acknowledgments on their behalf? Yet there’s little to no indigenous leadership in that organization. And they’re not doing anything to support the #landback movement. #landacknowledgement #aunty #canada #nativecanada #twospirit #nativepride #traditionallands #indigenouscanada https://www.instagram.com/p/Cfiefu6Dg4iA6T6GnouYp2CFCOFsdUTFsKBQj40/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

new blog post (link in bio) on my journey to the headwaters of the so called Missouri River with my thoughts on land acknowledgments...like if they are so important why do (white) people put them at the end like an institutional end note...just a question. #queerveganadventures #missouririver #landacknowledgement #headwaters https://www.instagram.com/p/CWEw2FvP-eY/?utm_medium=tumblr

Land/Consent. We live and cycle in stolen land. . “Acknowledging Indigenous land goes beyond a simple statement at the beginning of a presentation or a simple reference in your bio. When you acknowledge the land you are acknowledging the colonial history of American and the white supremacist, racist, economic, and religious forces at play that are responsible for stealing the land where you live today. You’re acknowledging that colonialism is an ongoing process and that much of this land was unceded territories of nations that existed before you and will continue to exist after you. When you ride outdoors, research the Indigenous nations that are active around you and donate money, time, or support to them.” @gfx_prints. . Learn to build consent to how you recreate on the land by listening to Indigenous people. The land is medicine to a lot of us who ride for self care. A good place to start learning from is our Diné relative @renay.h. . There’s a particular ‘amnesia’ this country has about the history of Turtle Island, so called America. Not enough history is discussed about the people who inhabited this land and the atrocities committed against them because that’s the point, to continually erase and maintain empire. I encourage all of you to do more research of the you land you live on. . You can visit native-land.ca to search any city in the US and Canada and many places in South America to see who’s territory you’re on. . As my homie @pedalhomie puts it: .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “Mountain bikers and cyclists need to rethink not only our relationship to land but our relationship to disrespecting people”. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #nativeland #landacknowledgement #turtleisland #changethename #consent #landmanagement #motherearth #indigeneous #indigenoussolidarity #native #nativeland #myturtlesback #cycling #bikes #colonialism #mtb #gravel (at Turtle Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/CB3zSnPFovq/?utm_medium=tumblr

I rarely make up my own recipes but with no Thanksgiving guests this year, I had an unusually flexible oven schedule, and once I imagined an Everything Babka with lox, cream cheese, and scallion filling, I had to have it. So I made some extreme modifications to a savory babka I found at @food52 and am enormously pleased with what I came up with! Happy Thanksgiving; try not to celebrate without also acknowledging the history of the land we occupy. . . . #planalittleeatalot #food #prep #everythingseasoning #babka #savorybabka #lox #creamcheese #scallion #scallions #poppyseeds #sesameseeds #onionpowder #garlicpowder #thanksgiving #landacknowledgement https://www.instagram.com/p/CIDzglnjYSd/?igshid=181ypxlk7nsv2

So often we hike through trails and pitch our tents on lands that are named after indigenous tribes but how often do we take the time to acknowledge the land upon which we walk?  Land acknowledgment pays tribute to the original inhabits of the land and while it's not sufficient education about indigenous history and challenges it is an good place to start and I encourage all of us to learn more about those who originally occupied these spaces. Thank you @mochamamatreks for sharing this article by @hyperallergic (see 2nd photo), which shares an easy resource for texting your zip code to learn more about indigenous lands in your surrounding area. [EXCERPT] "A new SMS bot developed by Code for Anchorage with information provided by the Canadian nonprofit Native Land encourages land acknowledgment by making it easier for those in the US to learn which Indigenous territories they’re standing on. Just  your zip code or your city and state (separated by a comma) to (907) 312-5085 and the bot will respond with the names of the Native lands that correspond to that region."

Beautiful throwback to @korinaemmerich 💜 "It’s been a challenging week reflecting on the myriad of events surrounding the UN Climate Summit. Being present at these events, while I find it important and am grateful for the invites to be able to share with a larger network, it is uncomfortable at times. It is uncomfortable to live in NYC because daily we are inundated with advertisements, it’s like walking around in They Live (1988 movie- if you haven’t seen it, see it) #consume #consume #consume. . . My biggest take away this week was from one of the speakers from the Amazon during @therainforestsummit . The panel consisted of all Indigenous Amazonian’s, most of who were visiting for the first time. When asked what they thought of NYC, the response resounded in truth: we take EVERYTHING. . . I am paraphrasing as I don’t have a direct quote: “I thought NYC was a paradise. It is not. You have so much, you have everything- and now you’re taking from us. We have little and you have everything.” Nemonte Nenquimo, Waorani Leader . . Consumerism, capitalism and greed. There is so much to say. Too much to say, too much to learn, too much to change. It is our job now as privileged creatives to find ways to restructure the industry’s we work in. To support indigenous rights and voices. To megaphone indigenous demands. It is time for the adults to step up and demand change. I have a lot I want to share - I can’t find all the words. This ‘influencer’ thing is weird and I wanna be up front about that. But I’m grateful to bring attention to important topics. . . If it matters I made this outfit an hour before the event. The recycled fabric I got after volunteering 3 hours sorting textile waste at @fab_scrap . We have options in the way we choose to consume." . #deforestation #protectamazonia #indigenousrepresentation #indigenousrights #obey #landacknowledgement #Upcycling #recycle (at New York City) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4Xeup4ns67/?igshid=obniznkf0iyh

Love and strength to our family at @flora_y_tierra for communing with the ancestors and committing to healing the traumas we’ve had and inherited. The path of the warrior is not easy, but at least we have each other. We hold each other. We protect each other. By fighting together, we train our hearts and minds. Protecting the family at all costs becomes the call for survival; our babies as sharp as the blade. See you all in two weeks! 5/4🗡🌱✨⚡️✨🌱🗡 . . . . #SurvivalArts #Academy #teachthebabies #eachoneteachone #warriorwomxn #mothering #warriormama #pekititirsiakali #decolonizingPTK #reclaimyourpower #pilipinafightingarts #protectthefamily #protectyourenergy #protectyourself #selfcare #selfpreservation #selfdetermination #tongva #landacknowledgement #longbeach #losangeles #california #sacredspace #sacredgeometry #healing #training #kali (at Long Beach, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwS1k0pgicg/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=v5qpx0c0esk1

This is really beautiful work that @PortugalTheMan has been doing. If you aren’t already tuned in, start here. 🖤 #Repost: @portugaltheman ・・・ Recognize and respect! Honor the Indigenous Peoples of your home and everywhere else. Learn and remember the traditional name of the land you’re on and show respect and gratitude to the first people to call it home. Land Acknowledgment is just the first step. We have a long way to go.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT - cycling community, this is something we encourage you take steps on at your events, meetings, posts, and group rides.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ RP @nativelandnet:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ "An active area people ask us for guidance is how to ‘properly’ do land acknowledgements. With Columbus Day (Indigenous Peoples Day) being next Monday, we especially feel it’s important to keep spreading the message of authentic and systemic practices that counter colonial habits. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ As Indigenous and Non-Indigenous folks, together we can make a choice to publicly develop new normals, such as Land Acknowledgements, in recognizing the history of colonialism and the need for change. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ On our website (https://native-land.ca/), we offer a section that can assist you in the process. It’s key to know that, while you may feel awkward or shy at the beginning of this practice, over time and with consistency you will establish the norms that our society needs and it is through this consistency that you avoid tokenism and are able to really connect with the land you are on.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Write Land Acknowledgements into your own school projects, work meetings, webinars, events and even your outgoing email signature. See our website for more information and resources: https://native-land.ca/"⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Cyclista Zine operates and exists on the occupied ancestral land of the Lenape-Wappinger in so-called New York. This acknowledgement demonstrates the commitment to the process of dismantling the ongoing legacies of settler colonialism through good relations with each other and the lands we live work and ride on. In campaigns from #namethechangeand #notyourtribe, we work with Indigenous people and learn what more we can do to help the cycling community, this is just a small part of what is asked. We have an IG live coming up to discuss this in greater depth. Keep your eyes peeled for those details to come!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #indigenous #landacknowledgement#decolonize #indigenouspeoplesday#indigenoushistory #indigenousculture#nativeamerican #native#whoselandareyouon#whoselandareweexploringon#nativeland #landback

Last Friday we had the honor of welcoming the @americanindiancenter and several members from the Chicago Native American community for a land acknowledgement ceremony. The Field recognizes that we reside on the traditional homelands of the Three Fires Confederacy: Ojibwe, Odawa, and Potawatomi, and that this area was also a site of trade, gathering, and healing for more than a dozen other Native tribes. As part of an ongoing effort to bring indigenous voices to the forefront, we’re partnering with Native American community partners to transform our Native North American Hall. Stay tuned for updates on this important and exciting collaborative project. #FieldMuseum #NaturalHistoryMuseum #NaturalHistory #LandAcknowledgement #AmericanIndian https://ift.tt/2qfvJki
