As we watch Trumpers storm the capital with guns. Just a reminder, this is what America did to Native protesting for clean water.

For far too long, Native women have been, at best, invisible, and at worst, disposable. As Native women and girls experienced violence, went missing, or were murdered at disproportionate rates, too often, the cases and root causes went unexamined. #MMIW

The Trump administration on Wednesday effectively killed a proposed gold and copper mine near the headwaters of the world’s largest sockeye salmon fishery. #Alaska #BristolBay https://t.co/1BxkgG7C3N

The Trump administration is rushing the exchange of sacred Indigenous lands just weeks before inauguration. We must rise in solidarity with the Apache-Stronghold to demand their holy-lands are protected.

[Lucas Brown Eyes @LucasBrownEyes]

The News is seemingly purposefully ignoring Native Americans again (even when talking about Arizona!)
