OH NO HER NECK IS STRETCHING

THE FORESHADOWING WAS NEVER A LIE

IT ALWAYS COMES BACK TO THE FUCKING CHAIRS

🧡🧡🧡

I grew up lucky to be around my culture, to be around other natives and to live on the rez. A lot of my cousins didn't get that, and even some of them who did, we still don't know our culture like the generations before.

I was named in our language but I can't speak it. I haven't met anyone fluent in it, and hearing someone else whose named in it is a rarity.

I don't know a whole lot about my culture, I just know things my teachers taught. I know how to pay an offering, I know how to enter a sweat lodge, how to prepare one, how to cook for one, I know how to bless my house and family. I know how to dance for my people and the importance of practicing good medicine.

But there's a lot of knowledge I don't know. I don't know how to bead. How to weave a basket on my own. How to make a ribbon skirt. How to make my own regalia. How to live off the land. How to sing in my language.

It hurts knowing there's a lot I don't know. And I am one of the lucky ones. I was raised with my culture.

I am grateful for everything I have been taught, I try to not take it for granted. Seeing what they want to do with ICWA, words can't describe the pain it that.

I shouldn't be a lucky one, in the past this was knowledge all my people knew. The genocide to my people, to my culture still hasn't stopped.

However, I'm well aware that native issues tend to be ignored, ICWA is just one part of the puzzle though.

I'll let this video explain:

I tried to do a direct link but had no luck, but you should still be able to find the information.

The resources page will look like this:

This is the one you need:

I do suggest looking at the other ones as well!

Please, it doesn't take long at all to do but it helps out a lot! It took longer to put this together than it does to fill this out. You're not only helping protecting our culture but the climates future!

Disheartening to see the same people who say “Don’t give money to JKR’s antisemitic shitpile of a game” uncritically enjoying and sharing Avatar content. Does genocide not matter unless it’s happening to you? Does the concept of “Don’t fund white supremacy” have a cut-off for how much white supremacy is Enough To Matter? Everyone rightfully lost their mind over how disgusting the concept of Nazi Romeo And Death Camp Prisoner Juliet was, but you’re happy to make James “Maybe the ongoing native american genocide wouldn’t be happening if they’d just try harder sweaty :)” Cameron’s Blue Pocahontas 2: White Saviour Complex Boogaloo the sixth-highest-grossing film of all time in the wake of a Supreme Court battle surrounding the re-legalisation of the kidnapping and forcible Christian conversion of our children at the end of a year where they also took steps to strip what little authority our tribes have over our own sovereign land.

I expect this from white people. Not people who know so deeply and intimately how genocide and ongoing violence and bigotry affect a marginalised community.

I’m not mad, I’m just disappointed, etc.
