Leadership is not an elevation to power but a submission to duty. I work every day to align capital with justice for our Native Nations.

@TrinityTheTuck Empresses in the Palace, it’s subtitled but the greatest saga ever (look it up on you tube). You will love the costumes, and those bitches are just plain evil! Poisoning each other, major shade and drama 💕

.@MsChrystelC @Oweesta sets the table on what we can learn from Native Communities: “Look at most vulnerable and take care of them first” great lesson for banks, philanthropy, government in need to invest in Persistent Poverty areas #LifeInRural

@vincentjgrant @Beyonce @LaceyRGarrison Lol. You're about to throw me away too Pooh. Not. A. Fan. She has so much power but welds it weakly in my opinion. She could be making major political statements say like...racial inequity and inequality, woman power, black power, reform for the penal system.Where you at Queen B?

The story of White Innocence is what got Emmitt Till killed, the Central Park 5 and the Fairbanks 4 imprisoned wrongfully...

White Innocence is the ability to say “I was only trying to...” & that changes a whole narrative & lots of white minds.

White Innocence is a super power.

[Gyasi Ross @BigIndianGyasi]

Now the white kids are asserting their white innocence & everybody is sucking it up.

Why? It’s an easy narrative. “I didn’t know what was happening.” Works for white people. Does not work for Brown & Black people.

@NewsForThinkers @w_terrence Like CNN or mainstream America cares enough about Native Americans to catch this on camera and be at the event (Indigenous March), please... All the footage was taken by cell phones genius, uploaded on the internet and went viral.

Thank you Nathan Phillips for showing the world yesterday what tolerance and resilience look like. In the face of ignorance and intimidation, you reminded us that the song cannot stop, and our prayers for our people will never stop.

In an interview with The Post, Omaha tribe elder Nathan Phillips says he “felt like the spirit was talking through me” as teens jeered and mocked him https://t.co/sabTvhs1zl
