@Travistritt And it's a great day to be alive. We're not gonna miss you when you're gone. If the fall don't kill you, you might be just too tired to fight. You had the best of intentions but you're livin on borrowed time. I wish I was wrong.
@jfkeeler Seems he just laid low hoping people would forget. Saw him promoting himself at Syracuse Univ more than 20 yrs ago and he was disrespectful to me but all the white women in the room loved it. He continued to put down Ndn people to the titter of white women. No, he’s not changed.
Native Authors: do you have posters of you and your books? I want to urge our Nation school to hang these up in the library for our kids to see you and what you’ve accomplished.
Sooooo I didn’t write 100 pgs of story so I could apply for a chance to stay in Montana for a month and finish it. I don’t have time to write. Too busy. Someone’s gotta read Twitter. 🤦🏻♀️
@regcharging YES!! Omgoodness yes this is exactly what I’ve been trying to say. We can’t take our schools back because so many of our people have become assimilated and don’t see what they aren’t teaching our kids. So sad and frustrating. 😟
@regcharging Keep going! Had an argument of sorts w/Native Amer. liaison at state ed dept. So full of herself, telling me she has done all that she’s required. And she’s Native. Admin only cares about the numbers. Bullying out of hand at Onondaga Nation school.
Don’t worry about the white people silencing us. Remember that board I put up before I left my position at our Nation school? Well the admin, a white man AND a Native woman, took the words down and left the pictures. They don’t want our kids becoming TOO empowered. #killtheindian
So I lost the job. No longer the career coordinator. But I left a message for the students. The pictures are our people, past and present, in the community who fought at one time or another for our Nation school and sovereignty.
