Native American attorney continuing the legacy of my relative Standing Bear who was the first Native American to win civil rights in the United States

You have to be a 'person' to have civil rights. Slaves couldn't go to court until 1865. Native Americans couldn't go to court until 1879 when my relative Standing Bear was illegally arrested by the United States Army and sued for his civil rights due him as a 'person' and won.

Indigenous people look at this map and see the path of death and destruction, not “exploration”!

[Brett Chapman @brettachapman]

I’ve never understood why Native Americans would support foreign beliefs like Christianity. It reminds me of a great quote of Chief Joseph:

Q—Why do you not want churches?
A—They will teach us to quarrel about God as the Catholics and Protestants do. We do not want to learn that

@yashar Needless deaths in a needless war on Iran

This is one of my favorite artworks. The artist was a Ponca named Standing Buffalo who depicted a battle he fought in 1869 with two of my ancestors and we see his experience seen through his own eyes, preserved forever by his hand—like a photograph. I love Native American art

@OURadioCrew @OU_ThePRIDE I can see myself in that picture!

[Brett Chapman @brettachapman]

How many Native Americans had to die like this for the U.S. to exist?

[Brett Chapman @brettachapman]

Each of these settlements signaled nothing but death and land theft for the Native Americans unfortunate enough to be in the area—very sad

Who founded the oldest permanent European settlements in each U.S. State

@CPhilly19 That fake by A&M to tie it at 35 was a nice play

@ParkerThune I guess 3-9 or 4-8 might get him canned, but it’d get anyone canned at an elite school like Oklahoma, especially in the portal era, barring a complete collapse due to injuries

@MaxBlumenthal @brianbroganart I used to get unwanted calls and snail mail from a lunatic who I absolutely feel would be the type of shoot up a gay pride parade and so I answered one of his calls and warned him to stay away from my family and reported him to the FBI because I don’t want that on my conscience

@ThriceSavage The first girl needs to see a medical professional and psychiatrist 😬

[Brett Chapman @brettachapman]

@M_Reader2 @hecubian_devil Yes, you’re especially right about the local societies. My ancestor was the first Native American to win civil rights and I did a ton of research involving many local county historical societies and they’re absolutely right wing coded to be interested in 1800s white settlement

[Brett Chapman @brettachapman]

@joejoe419723966 @can_throwaway @RealAraZobayan @hecubian_devil Yup. Reenactor is the closest thing to an absolute guarantee that this individual is a right winger.

@MarcWatkinsEsq Straight up dominated by superstition

[Brett Chapman @brettachapman]

@MarcWatkinsEsq Oklahoma is an easy one

[Brett Chapman @brettachapman]

@joejoe419723966 @hecubian_devil This evidence is hard to argue with 😂

[Brett Chapman @brettachapman]

@BudElliott3 Just overrun with mid majors. That’s the biggest problem with the sport if you ask me.

[Brett Chapman @brettachapman]

@lllliatttt This is terribly disrespectful
