Happy #IndigenousPeoplesDay! Today we think of the Comanche People who’s land we are on, and of those who presevered everything they could for future generations.
History has changed so dramatically that the morning we greet today is far different than it was just one week ago.

But we can relish these moments of victory.

We are saddened to hear of the passing of 19-year-old Oluwatoyin Salau. Our hearts are with her as she walks on.
Her death reaffirms our commitment to fighting racial injustice. This is why we fight. #JusticeForToyin#BlackLivesMatter
Canadian police beat a First Nations chief to the ground over a license plate dispute. Video shows them punching Allan Adam repeatedly, he says after he reacted to them grabbing his wife.
Police harassment of Indigenous people is systemic, groups say: "Nobody speaks up for us."
UNT is now a minority serving institution. We will no longer stay in silence to the ignored and empty promises UNT continues to make. We opened up the platform and gave @UNTPrez 48 hours to respond and received back nothing. #NotMyUnt
