A message to Academia:
“Indigenous based research” conducted by white people is not indigenous based research.
White people have no business conducting research on our peoples anymore.
We have more than enough educated & skilled indigenous peoples to conduct our own research.
Facebook, a company that shares your information for profit, is changing its name to “Meta” which is also short for ‘meta data’ which is the process of gathering your information for profit. Shoulda just renamed it, “Fuck it, you know what we’re doing.”
@native4data I feel the sadness that is running through you. Sadness of a sibling hits me hard. It’s a daily struggle to keep moving forward. Sharing my support for the pain you feel. I share that same pain.
‼️Mutual aid request‼️ My homelands, N. Cheyenne Reservation, are being devastated by forest fires on all sides. It will be 5 days at least until electricity is restored. I’m hustling to get generators, water, & food for elders. Please Venmo donations if you can. Nea’eše.

This is tribal sovereignty. This is acknowledging our shared humanity. This is trusting science. This is Indigenous generosity despite 500+ years of colonization and violence.
From Cheyenne Headstart to UCLA professor: dreams come true! Today, I started my first quarter teaching classes as an actual profe. This rez girl is teaching at the #1 public univ in the USA! I may be the first Indigenous woman hired by UCLA Sociology, but I won’t be the last.
I have this radical lefty belief that we shouldn’t spend $1,700,000,000,000 on a failed F-35 fighter jet program when 94% of public school teachers are forced to spend their own money on school supplies.
