Presenting at Indiana University Kokomo today. It’s been awhile since I’ve done a @MTAWdocumentary screening and presentation but happy to be on the road #NotYourMascot

Just finished Allotment Stories: Indigenous Land Relations Under Settler Siege, edited by @JeaniOBrien and Daniel Heath Justice! Cannot recommend it enough. It’s the perfect combination of history and personal narrative from a ton of amazing Native scholars! #ReadIndigenous

Thankful to have listened to @eleventhjoe give the 33rd Annual Oscar Howe Memorial Lecture tonight at the University of South Dakota. He’s a 2007 USD Alum. #sungmanituoyate

Just finished American Comics: A History by @JeremyDauber! Really great and thorough history on the development of comic books. Definitely recommend. Purchased from @bsb_savoy in Mystic, CT during my summer travels. #AmReading

Don’t forget that you celebrating American independence on stolen land. #LandBack #NativeLand

[Nick Estes @nickwestes]

Nearly 250 years ago today, white slavers called the original nations of this continent “merciless Indian Savages” in their Declaration of Independence. The counter-revolution of property on our lands began while they also declared “all men are created equal.”

Where all the #2022NativeGrads at?

[John Little @John_A_Little]

#NativeTwitter: What books (articles, blogs, etc.) are you reading so far in 2022?

[John Little @John_A_Little]

Three years ago I got some amazing responses to this question below. Three years later: No more R*dskins. No more Cleveland Indians. Two major shows: Reservation Dogs and Rutherford Falls. Crazy how much change can happen in just a few years.

[Rebrand Racist Mascots @RebrandRM]

@John_A_Little Thank you Little brothers for making @MTAWdocumentary. So glad this day finally came. Not quite as awesome as 7-13-20, but damn close. And we got Cleveland @CleGuardians too!

[John Little @John_A_Little]

Thankful to all the Native people who fought for generations to #ChangeTheName! Atlanta, Kansas City, and Chicago you’re on deck #NotYourMascot

[John Little @John_A_Little]

“Even though we changed it because it was racist, here is one final video of us saying and showing it a bunch.”

[John Little @John_A_Little]

Excited for @KennethMLittle and I to partner with the BHSU Center for American Indian Studies on a new film project!
