This. We’ve been trying to tell y’all this for years.

Wounded Knee is a dark stain upon our nation’s history. We must remember it for what it truly was, not for what white nationalists would have it be.

CW: graphic descriptions of Native genocide 🧵 Secretary of war pete hegseth has stated the medals of honor for the Wounded Knee Massacre will not be rescinded so let me tell you once again what your "america" honors.

It is true, their place in history is settled. And Pete cannot rewrite it. Neither can any number of medals. #NotHowHistoryWorks

I… As a Native person, I don’t know quite what else to say to make you care other than one day soon it will be you. I don’t know what else to say.

This is why I’m glad I’ve deleted all my Meta accounts.

🧵 It's not as lyrical as "At the far end of the Trail of Tears was a promise" but damn if I didn't smile when I read "because this is what Mvskoke law demands." Today is an historic day. The Mvskoke Nation Supreme Court has ruled that the Nation must abide by the promises our ancestors made

Some GOOD news: The Supreme Court of the Muscogee Creek Nation has just ruled that Freedmen are tribal citizens!

Trump wants the Washington Football team to bring back their old name: R–skins, a dictionary-defined racial slur. Research shows racist mascots harm Native youth’s self-esteem & mental health. What the research also found is that it makes white feel better about being white. 🧵

The Exec brought up the idea of bringing back racist sports names because non-Natives have an idea that they have say on our identities. The answer should be "no" instead of endless rehashing of the same convos from 10 years ago, 20 years ago. Call Native Nations what they call themselves & move on.

Six years after Aubrey Damaron‘s disappearance, her family is still looking for answers. The 25-year-old transgender Cherokee woman was last seen on the Cherokee reservation. www.kosu.org/news/2025-07...

This is bad, but like, the quote, "John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it" exists, as does the Dakota 38. Like the list is so long for the illegal war crimes of US presidents. We can condemn trump's dumbassery and violence without pretending the past was golden.

Him hiding from the loud ski boom booms.

The literal least you could do. This is stolen land from Native people (Thanks Teddy Roosevelt). You have an OBLIGATION not only to stop its sale and destruction, but to return it to its faithful stewards before it is too late. And it almost is. Please take responsibility. This is your home too.

I am a Mvskoke Citizen. We have done wrong by our Freedmen brothers and sisters.

A must read.👇 “From the federal level, they don’t want to deal with us. They are continuously trying to get out of the things they agreed to in these treaties,” he said. “They pass it along to the states, but the states don’t want to deal with us either.” boltsmag.org/voting-right...

The erasure of Native people is so pervasive in American society it follows us to the grave. A new study found that Native Americans are listed as the wrong race on their death certificates 40% of the time.

🧵As we await an opinion in the case of CITIZENSHIP BOARD OF THE MUSCOGEE (CREEK) NATION V. RHONDA K. GRAYSON, ET AL. I have some things to say because of course I do. We can debate blood quantum all day long. It's a divisive issue and while everyone is entitled to their opinion

imprintnews.org/top-stories/... Lawsuit: Government ‘Stuck Tribes With a Bill’ for Boarding Schools

Wrote this piece for Harpers Bazaar about the life, legacy, and hate-induced murder of Jonathan Joss through the eyes of being a Two-Spirit Native person this Pride. I hope you take a read. For Him. For all of us. 🪶

The amount of “No One Is Illegal On Stolen Land” signs and t-shirts I saw at the No Kings Protest was beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. Step One is Recognizing Step Two is Returning We want our home back. We want our land back. We want to show you how to build a better world here again.

Your tribe does not need to do blood quantum.

BORDER PATROL: “Are you an 🇺🇸 citizen?” 🔥 NATIVE AMERICAN WOMAN: “FIRST ONES. We didn’t cross the border, the border crossed us… what are you? You’re not first born. You’re not from this f*ckin’ land. Punk-as* b*tches.”

Jonathan Joss' death is a tragedy. John Redcorn was the only representation I had as a kid. I once even did a recording with him and he's now the 2nd Native man I’ve known that has died from gun violence this year. The other being my dad. Natives are the most likely to be victims of violent crimes.

He was murdered for being gay and native.

(1/2) Why use 2SLGBTQ? Some folks are advocating to put 2S (Two Spirit) at the beginning of the LGBTQ acronym. Why? Putting it first recognizes that Indigenous nations are the first peoples of this land. It also pushes back against the primary form of anti-Indigenous racism: erasure.

(1/4) Can I be Two Spirit? If you are not Native American, you cannot be 2S. Before the term was created, anthropologists used a Prussian word that also meant male prostitute to describe 2S people in academic work. To remove the derogatory Western lens, Native LGBTQ people created our own term.

(1/2) RFK Jr called commodities a form of “genocide” against Native Americans, bc, as he claims, the federal food program distributes processed food leading to higher rates of chronic disease. The rhetoric is baldly hypocritical.

(1/4) Today, the Supreme Court announced that it would decline to hear a case brought by Apache Stronghold to defend Oak Flat. The group is affiliated with the San Carlos Apache Tribe, which has been fighting to save their sacred site from being turned into a copper mine.

Liberal SCOTUS justices refusing to allow Apache Stronghold’s appeal to prevent the destruction of sacred Oak Flat just drives home the contempt that settlers and their institutions have for Native people, cultures and religions.

(1/6) BEFORE the latest round of federal budget cuts, Indian Health Service was funded at pennies on the dollar of what it actually needs.

This is Bruno. Like many pups he is a working dog. But his job is barber. 13/10
