If you keep it on topic, there's a lot more where this came from today. Insult me and you're just declaring to the world that you're a gullible tool of a crumbling patriarchal authoritarian oligarchy.
“Pueblo Action Alliance is a community driven organization that promotes cultural sustainability by addressing environmental and social impacts in Indigenous communities.”

Pueblo Action Alliance was created in the wake of the environmental injustice on Indian lands. Ever since first contact, Indigenous communities have suffered environmental and social impacts that endanger our cultural integrity and traditional ways of life. When Standing Rock evolved into an international movement, Pueblo Action Alliance felt the spiritual calling to stand next to our indigenous brothers and sisters to fight against oil, gas, and coal industry; especially industry that affects Indian lands and its people.
Today we continue to raise awareness about these impacts we face as Indigenous people. Calling to action and supporting legislation that protects sacred sites, cultural resources, and traditional ways of life.

Tucson is special. It sits on a crossroads of two transcontinental highways and is ancestral land to the Tohono O'Odham, Apache and Dine' people. The Pasqua Yaqui were driven north by wars in central Mexico in the mid 19th century and settled here also. It was a vibrant trading center when the Spanish arrived in the 16th century and was incorporated as a city before the United States was formed.
For the most part, non-native Tucsonans are very respectful of the first people who lived here because the summers are so harsh and people tend to respect the ecosystem more than other more temperate places. I think also that the weather being so nice the rest of the year contributes very strongly to the low incidences of interracial tension here. It's either too hot to have the energy or too nice to want to waste the energy getting bent out of shape over petty crap. There is a high level of domestic violence though, especially since the pandemic started.
Here's a really cool interactive map that will tell you who the original people were anywhere in North America and i think they've expanded it to show other parts of the world too.
I grew up in Chicago near Lincoln Park on Kickapoo and Potawatomi land. There was an ancient burial ground that was preserved on the peninsula enclosing Belmont Harbor in the park near Addison where a totem pole by a Northwestern nation was installed

Fact checking myself about the totem pole i was wrong about it being a gift. It was originally a commissioned work for the Columbian Exposition and then replaced in 1986 by a pole carved by the original carver's grandson. The original pole, which had deteriorated badly was sent to U BC for study. The burial ground is in the copse of trees directly behind Kwanusila, the Thunderbird totem.

#Thankstaking #poped #LandBack #SolidarityThe Wampanoag People, like many tribes across Turtle Island, are still fighting to preserve the land, language, and culture that colonizers tried to strip from them in the aftermath of “The First Thanksgiving.” This holiday was fabricated as a performative and empty gesture by a government that continues to disrespect and harm Indigenous people 158 years after it was created. Today is a day of mourning, not celebration.






I hope that the original people of the US recognize the changes in the general public's understanding of native issues that have come about since the quincentennial of Columbus's discovery of people to exploit on this continent, thanks to the hard work of progressive children of colonizers and immigrants who have been standing in resistance to the black snake powered machine alongside the warriors and grandmothers on the front lines since the Alcatraz occupation.
Together, we've gotten numerous places to rename Columbus Day to Indigenous People's Day and we've been sharing honest histories of Thanksgiving all these years too. Today, with the Internet, the indigenous people of the world, all facing European style colonialist industrial fascism in their ancestral lands, are connected to each other like they never have been before. Thanks to that, frustrated and confused underclass "wypeepo", learning from their indigenous internet friends, are feeling their ancestors and the generations of their kin not yet born calling out to them more and more. This will change the face of Thanksgiving from one of gluttony to somber gratitude.
We're all native to where we're born, but people whose ancestors are indigenous to where you are born have rights that supersede yours and knowledge of the ecosystems you were born into that is far superior to anything the colonizers know about it. Indigeneity is something that evolves over the course of generations so that the people are actually a part of the ecosystem, not strangers in a strange land.
Indigenous elders preaching the rainbow way, say the best way forward is with a blending of the best of all the cultures brought together here by the crumbling empire, so please accept my native Hebrew-American best wishes for a blessed day of reflection and gratitude for the bountiful food blessings on the table your family is gathering around, and prayers for healing of all past trauma and that this year will be the year that world peace is declared.
To all the people alone in the world today, you're not alone. The Creator loves you. Your kindred spirits are somewhere. You just haven't met them yet. Don't worry, stay happy and enjoy your position in the natural world. Be your own best friend and others will find you.

My grandfather founded the National Day of Mourning to dispel the myth of Thanksgiving. I’m carrying on his legacy.
Every year, I march to tell the true history of the European conquest of the United States.
