#searchthelandfill

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.)

"ACAB / Search the Landfills"

Seen in Hamilton, Ontario on Day of Truth and Reconciliation, demanding that Canadian Government #SearchTheLandfills for missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, two spirit, and gender-diverse people.

Omfg look what the world police games had the balls to put on their site

the rage that has overtaken me lmaoooo

For anyone who was under the impression that land acknowledgments mean anything at all: they are literally less than trash.

Leaving First Nations women in the garbage they refuse to search while they say their "acknowledgements"

I'm sooooo fucking sick of Canadian Liberals and Centrists (conservatives I expect this behaviour from but libs like to position themselves as Progressive and then do this shit)

billionaires stuck in a tincan entirely by their own choice? Spare no expense, mobilize the coast guard, pour millions in taxpayer money in on this wild goose chase even though their families could easily afford to fund the search and rescue themselves and not even blink

one (1) native woman is killed by serial killer and thrown in a landfill and we actually know almost the exact location of where her body is search crews just need to go get her? "B-but the taxpayer expense-"

FUCK Y'ALL I HOPE Y'ALL DIE AND NOBODY LOOKS FOR YOU EITHER

it’s crazy how even though the government is refusing to search for LITERAL BODIES OF MURDERED INDIGENOUS WOMEN IN A LANDFILL most people in fandom or on the internet in general won’t listen to or even give the time of day to indigenous people speaking up about ANY of this.
