The Biden Administration cancels #ANWR oil leases but speaks nothing to the massive Willow Project still in play in the rapidly melting Arctic - “campaign trail rhetoric"

But it's unfinished business. The court denied to rule on the thorniest issue: the equal protection clause, AKA, the "race-based" issue. Kavanaugh all but invited a new lawsuit. Thomas, Alito dissented. https://t.co/4EHdL0jLcc…

The former Osage Nation Chief @JimGraytweetz was an early critic of Martin Scorcese's latest film, 'Killers of the Flower Moon.' He had no choice but to be. The plot about mass murder on his ancestal lands was deeply personal. Here's a thread worthy more than any movie review 🧵:

[Jim Gray (The former Chief) @JimGraytweetz]

I was fortunate enough to get a private screening of the film, Killers of the Flower Moon earlier this month. Having been marginally released from my NDA with the premiere of the film today at Cannes, I have a few thoughts.

"He always had time to speak to everybody."

Joe Garcia (Ohkay Owingeh) had a long list of distinguished titles, but kind-hearted man toplisted.

Indian Country has much to mourn and gain in honoring the memory of this treasured tribal leader. #RestInPower https://t.co/HEW9V8qrLA

A Māori artist has designed a way for the masses to tune out of royal coverage, with a web browser plugin that replaces all monarchy and coronation stories with Indigenous news.
