“If you are a US citizen, you are a treaty signer. So, You, Have a part to play with the treaties. You have to demand that the US government live up to the treaties. These are not dormant documents. As I speak to you you are a treaty enforcer.” — Faith Spotted Eagle Via @Lastrealindians #honorthetreaties #indigenousland #nativeland #landback #iloveancestry #wearestillhere #nativeamerican #nativeamericans #indiancountry #indiancountrytoday https://www.instagram.com/p/CCkiAeNKzkU/?igshid=195yavm9uo7i7

Last time I posted something like this one person in the crowd got mad. Stay mad, bro. We exist. We still look like our ancestors. Northeastern and Southeastern Woodland natives varied in appearance. Even before mixing. Enjoy your cliques and "status", these things will never dictate who I am. You can have them, I remain unconquered. ☕🐸 PS: My block game is on point. ------------------------------------------------------ Reposted from @afronative (@get_regrann) - Celebrating inspiring #IndigenousRights activist and artist Penny Gamble-Williams @wampanoagartist of African and Wampanoag heritage. 💫 Penny Gamble-Williams speaks: 💫 Speaking Up for the Rights of Indigenous People to Live and Thrive on Ohke, Mother Earth All in the Name of Love! Unapologetic and Unafraid! 💫 We live in a country where many people know nothing about the history of the Original People of this continent and how the United States was formed. We have to raise our voices and tell our stories. Respecting Ohke, our Mother Earth, the elders, children, and knowing that we must do what ever we can to make things better for the future generations. Let’s remember the Ancestors who were unable to complete their work. Marching, organizing and finding solutions together will create a stronger foundation for all of us to thrive as we walk in balance on this Earth.

Mwalim, Black Indian Artist, Writer and Educator

Mwalim of Mashpee Wampanoag and African heritage is a multifacetted performing artist, writer, media artist and educator.

He is a keeper of the ‘Ahanaeenun’ (sacred clown) tradition as well as the new world/ Pan-African griot tradition; both of which translate cleanly into his work as an artist and educator. Mwalim Played at Carnegie Hall by age 13 and became a studio session musician at age 16.

Mwalim has spent over 28 years in the music business as a composer, musician, singer and producer. He is presently part of a Soul Funk band of Black Indians called The GROOVALOTTOS and is an executive board member of the National Congress of Black American Indians (NCBAI).

As playwright, director, actor and drama teacher, he has been involved in theater, television and film for 24 years; and as a storyteller and performance poet, he has been in the spoken-word scene for 25 years. His work has been supported by numerous regional, national and international grants, fellowships, residencies, and institutions. He is the 2010 & 2012 winner of the ‘Best Jazz Artist’ for the New England Urban Music Awards and a top nominee for the Native American Music Awards.

Storytelling was a strong tradition on both sides of his family; retaining history, lore and philosophies of both his West Indian (Bajan/ Barbados) and NDN backgrounds. Receiving his formal training in theater from New African Company in the 1990’s, Mwalim went on to become a three-time recipient of the Ira Alderidge Fellowship. He is the co-founder and Director of Oversoul Theatre Collective, a professional NDN arts and education organization, through which he used to lead the Mashpee Youth Theater. In 2000, Mwalim became a member of the Lincoln Center Director’s lab, leading to artist residencies at the Harlem Theatre Company, Live From The Edge Theatre, Nuyorican Poet’s Theatre, and the Longwood Arts Gallery. He is the author of one book, A Mixed Medicine Bag (Talking Drum Press, 2007) and many plays, poems, essays and articles. His plays and performance pieces have been presented throughout the USA and Canada as well as the U.K. and Caribbean. Mwalim became New African Company’s first Native American playwright-in-residence in 2004 and is a former filmmaker-in-residence with WGBH/ PBS. Mwalim is a founding member of the Education Committee of the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe. He has served as a consultant for the National Museum of the American Indian, the Advisory Board for Special Education of the Bureau of Indian Education, and the Administration on Native Americans. He is also on the editorial board for the NAIS Journal. Mwalim earned his BA in Music and MS in Film from Boston University and his MFA from Goddard College. He is a tenured Associate Professor of English and the Director of Black Studies at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth.
