In honor of Indigenous Peoples Day today I wanted to talk about Alcatraz Island and its role in Native American civil rights a thread… (1/5)

this is just further proof you could never understand what it means. this land didn’t feed your people, it didn’t clothe your people, it didn’t nurture your people. the americas are the only home natives have ever known

it is insane that indigenous peoples are denied their own homes because a dictator did it 80 years ago. natives are not evil for wanting their homeland back.

white lefties will look you dead in your eyes and tell you what to do with your land and in the same breath declare that they are, in fact, an anti-colonialist.

care could never understand what that means. they could never understand what cutting down a saguaro means to the tohono o’odham people other than it is important and bad. they don’t feel anything and will eventually move on like all the other causes they “support”.

descendants of foreign immigrants and immigrants alike cannot conceptualize “home” without twisting it for their own agenda. native american culture is rooted in the americas, the connection they share with the land precedes everybody elses. even the people who supposedly…

Bounties were put in place by the American government. That means money was given out to hunters explicitly to kill American bison. To them, this is the land of opportunity, a place to make a quick buck regardless of who pays that cost. It still happens only it is not so obvious

trying out something new i thought it might more fitting for winter

right because fuck the apache fuck the comanche fuck the karankawa and all of the other native american tribes in texas. texas is not mexican anymore than it is “american”. fuck your “reconquista” colonizer lapdog
