Teachers have to deal with enough public disapproval these days without the help of this gem of an educator who suspended a seventh-grader for speaking in her native Menominee language. The teacher slammed her hand down on a student’s desk and had her suspended because…

A Daily Riot.: Introduction to Contemporary Native... →
adailyriot:
During the mid-1970s, I attended Swarthore High School in suburban Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. There, I learned little more about Native Americans other than that they had lived in teepees, hunted buffalo, and faced great hardships in adapting to modern life at the end of the nineteenth century. But I learned nothing about Native Americans’ experiences in the twentieth century. And ...

…seeing Native Americans give up so easily. No one has ever said living in this world would be easy. It takes hard work, perseverance, and having the thrive to move forward to make it in this crazy world. I see defeat every day. I witness my people giving up; giving up on their families, giving up on sobriety, giving up on our language, giving up on LIFE. I would be lying if I...

Anon asked:
What’s wrong with cultural appropriation? I mean, I know it’s bad, but I need this one kind of spelled out for me. Is it always bad? Are some cases worse than others? I want to be a good anti-racist, but I fear I’m not educated enough.

Call out to my Turtle Island Indigenous Siblings...
Hey!
I am wondering if any of the indigenous people of turtle island whom are on tumblr would be interested in forming a directory/alliance page which would have all those whom wish to be apart of it listed on there. This would be a centralized place for us to find one another, share information of news, issues, history, culture & spirituality (non-sacred of coarse), etc. This could also be a...

The following account is an examination of circumstances that led up to the incipiency of AIM including a short history of the problems facing the Indian Nation before AIM.

We owe many iconic images of American Indians to photographer Edward S. Curtis. Growing up in Wisconsin and Minnesota, Curtis began photographing Indians in 1895 and, in 1906, was offered $75,000 by JP Morgan to continue documenting their lives. The 1,500 resulting photographs inevitably impacted the image of Indians in the American imagination.Later it...

She couldn’t look any scarier.
If every native that ever heard some one say that they’re related to Pocahontas got a nickle, our reservations would look classier than Buckingham Palace.
