"The colonizers saw (and rightly) that as long as women held unquestioned power of such magnitude, attempts at total conquest of the continents were bound to fail."

You can't kill the spirit,
it's like a mountain
Old and strong;
it lives on and on.

You can't kill the spirit,
it's like a mountain
Old and strong;
it lives on and on.

You can't kill the spirit,
it's like a mountain
Old and strong;
it lives on and on.

...people who had one gender and embodied the other gender in their persona were considered spiritually advanced because, in the spirit world, there is no duality – the two genders are merged into one.

This is how men demonstrating emotion openly has become perceived as "unmasculine."

Men who think performing in a dispassionate and disembodied manner is "masculine" are actually reproducing European colonial masculinity.

[X @asexualjournal]

European male colonizers rationalized invasion by asserting they "embodied the power of human reason" and "represented the interests and will of humanity."

Their authority was situated on being "dispassionate, disembodied," as if they had an objective perspective on reality.

"...very grandiose structures had been made that were meant to reinforce the belief that justice was going to be carried out without question.

How could you not have justice in a place calling for justice that’s this big and made of marble?"

Without Native American presence in the movement, the movement is doomed to destruction and to being destructive, w/o tribal presence, forget it folks, there’s no point in even pretending that you’re going to succeed in doing anything but killing more. There’s no way to stop it.

"We remember the Black Death in the 1340s as this dramatic event which really shaped the course of Western civilization... but what are you talking about there? I mean you’re talking about 30%, 1/3rd, a quarter, this is 80%. It’s an Armageddon."

My husband told me about this. Honoring women for their role and labor, rather than devaluing it because it was “woman’s work” was the norm until white people showed up 🙃🙃🙃

"The idea of women's rights may have been refined in the unsuccessful centuries of struggle to gain it in the Western nations, but the behavior of equality was indigenous to Native people... Christianity and Western 'civilization' had been (...) the downfall of women."

Then they grow away from the earth
then they grow away from the sun
then they grow away from the plants and the animals.

They fear.
They fear the world.
They destroy what they fear.
They fear themselves.
