“Indigenous people make up 6 percent of the world’s population, but their territory accounts for close to a quarter of the earth’s land surface, containing more than a third of remaining natural lands worldwide.” —@robtsullivan.bsky.social on tribal sovereignty

Cool article about the Native American activism, much of it in the Pacific Northwest, that led to the Boldt decision. It centered on fishing rights, but the ruling was the first (in a minute) to respect the rights given to Native Americans by treaty. (1/6) ($ site) www.nybooks.com/articles/202...

Is Philly actually obsessed with a fictional movie character from five decades ago (Rocky), or do our local tourism companies just keep pushing this? I think it’s time we retire the Rocky narrative!
