Mainstream cultural confusion about Native identity and sovereignty slops onto conversations about Indigenous Universities and The Indian Child Welfare Act as well as a host of other laws and Native institutions. nativenewsonline.net/opinion/stop...

1/6 Today marks the anniversary of the Indian Removal Act, signed into law on May 28, 1830 by President Andrew Jackson. This act remains one of the most disgusting and despicable pieces of legislation in the history of the so-called United States.

No more stolen relatives - #MMIP event in Great Falls tomorrow.

#LittleShell Round Dance tonight at the Elder’s Center.

Excellent discussion of the #Métis Diaspora into the West from the Red River Settlement/Pembina, and how many of our families came to be in what are now western provinces in Canada and in Montana in the US.♾️ #Michif #LittleShell

Mino Zaagibagaa-Giizis, happy May! 🌸🌷🌼

Late #EarthDay share but these are such lovely photos.

For 156 years, we were displaced “Landless Indians”. We’re now reclaiming our historic land. Last week the #LittleShell Tribe broke ground on a ceremonial center that will anchor the housing community for our elders and veterans. #LandBack 🧡🪶 nativenewsonline.net/sovereignty/...

As month end approaches, I have to post our reminder that we gratefully accept kokum gifts that help us and many others survive right now. I live on a small pension raising teens and it helps so much to have beautiful souls who care about us. It is a lot to overcome alone. Love to all this day💞🪶

Added some new pieces to my shop and hoping they get to find their forever homes, so I can keep a roof over my head and keep creating. You can shop this beauty at www.ko-fi.com/johnniejae/s... So thrilled with how this one came together!

1/7 Did you know Indigenous women in the U.S. were frequently sterilized w/o their consent, or even w/o knowing it was happening? From the 1960s through the late 1970s, thousands of Indigenous women were sterilized by the Indian Health Service a branch of the U.S. government.
