Correct me if I'm wrong but in all the time people created the sincerest form of flattery accounts about Lakotaman did we miss the most obvious of all?

I'm curious to see how many NAGPRA inventory completions/repatriation notices from museums, colleges, and universities will be on the federal register once the shutdown is over.

That might seem inconsequential but I want to know if they continued the work when no one was holding them accountable.

A thing said to me this weekend that I really needed to hear:

"You commit acts of journalism. You're a journalist."

I once described Taylor Swift's brand of feminism as whiter than a polar bear eating a tofu and mayonnaise sandwich in a blizzard.

I was wrong.

Taylor Swift's brand is whiter than a polar bear eating a tofu and mayonnaise sandwich in a blizzard.

I regret the error.

decided that human cost was a small price for someone else to pay for your comfort so you played ball by telling yourself as long as you aren't actively racist you're one of the good ones.

You're not. 2/2

I'll say this again and I'll be blunt.

If you're silent about racism in any form it means at some point, subconsciously or not, you did a cost benefit analysis of the status quo vs equity and found that fight a bit too inconvenient, and 1/2

If all you're doing is acknowledging you're a settler without actively dismantling systems of oppression then you're part of the problem.

Words without action are performative and only serve to assuage colonizer guilt.

During the George Floyd uprisings Black Liberation Movement Des Moines stated they would no longer chant "Whose streets? Our streets!" citing the original Native stewards of the land.

That's not all they did though. They took action. They marched. They held power to account.

...

We will no longer be using the chant, "whose streets? our streets.” These aren't our streets; this isn't our land.

This land belongs to the Báxoje (Bah Kho-je) or loway people, the Sauk (Sac) people and Meskwaki (Fox) people.

Do you know why it's so freeing to be in Native spaces? Because you can finally breathe. You don't have to explain everything or defend your very existence. It's absolutely amazing.

When Natives take the time to educate you please understand it's a lot of work and it's neverending. We're tired.
