I've been reflecting on the past 5 years as an Afro-Indigenous person and the push to open up Indigeneity to acknowledge that we exist. I will say, that progress has been made. There is still a mountain of work to be done but the conversation has shifted in the past 5 years. 🧵
In Ojibwe our word for garden is kitigaan (pronounced ki-ti-gawn). The Anishinaabe planted Indigenous foods like corn, beans, squash, tomatoes and potatoes.
after mass shootings u hear shit like “we need more cops” or “there’s too much violence in media” when all that needs to be said is “this country refuses to deal with white supremacy�� and until it does, people will keep dying.
It's hard enough to lose an elder, but when we lose one to hateful violence, I don't even have words for how much love, knowledge and community has been lost and what that feels like.
For those of us who work in the Indian law space, there are endless reminders (starting with the continued citations to & legal validity of the Doctrine of Discovery) that the Court is all about power and that it welds power not in pursuit of justice but to protect the powerful.
Native women in many tribes owned the homes, they controlled and traded resources, and chose leaders, some even were the leaders. Many Native tribes had more than 2 genders. And for this, settlers called us primitive. Violence against us consistently ignored like #MMIWG2S.
