See if your state is on the list. Do you know whose ancestral lands you live on?
There are more than 5 million Native Americans in the U.S. That number is projected to rise to 10 million people by 2060.

As I said last year - when the #Superbowl was the 49ers
and the Kansas City @Chiefs
As a former Sports Editor, and as a Native American journalist, I have a few things to say about this #AppropriationBowl.
The Chiefs are not honoring Native people. I'll explain in a #Thread.
I’m glad to see Native stories & experiences highlighted in this way. Our literary history is a rich one.
Thank you @oprahmagazine for giving me some more authors to add to my bookshelf!
