Land acknowledgement conversations in Toronto have taken an Anishinaabe/Haudenosaunee political concept (🥣) and twisted into a vision of multiculturalism entirely removed from its context. Who is your *organization* to define the terms and/or decide the future of a treaty?
Hello settler allies!
Today, July 4th, is a perfect day to redistribute wealth to Native folks. Native relatives are working through heavy news and hard times.
This will serve as a thread of Native folks you can share with.
Native relatives, please share your links and needs.
Come one, come all! Join us this Thursday at 6pm EST to hear from @SDonziger about his unbelievable battle with Chevron and why he’s been under house arrest for nearly 2 years. See you there!
The Navajo Nation reported on Monday zero new #COVID19 positive cases and no recent deaths for the first time in over 6 months.
The news comes as the Navajo Nation, along with other tribal communities across Arizona, surpass vaccine administration goals.

Check out our feature in the @dailyprincetonian! NAP will never stop fighting for the bare minimum that Native and Indigenous students deserve. We want our voices to be more than heard, we want action.
FEATURES | “We will no longer be silenced and ignored," read an NAP press release. "Native and Indigenous peoples are here and present at Princeton more than ever.”

Oh wow, cool, cool. Princeton is hiring in Indigenous Studies because someone endowed a hire, not because they decided to devote $$$$ to hiring in Indigenous Studies. Discuss.
NEWS | While the University has recently offered courses centered on Native American history, literature, and languages, the endowed professorship will be the first permanent faculty position explicitly focused on Indigenous Studies. https://t.co/zdZkgswYwB
