Treating everybody like Indians now.

People keep being surprised by things Native folks told them about because they are committing testimonial injustice against Native folks

PSSD should be the term for those who have post SSRI sexual dysfunction, not the other neurological and neuro immune damage. Those sequelae need a different term.

Mark Fiddler, the adoption attorney we investigated in S2 of This Land is still at it. This time, he is trying to overturn ICWA before the Minnesota State Supreme Court.

As federal environmental priorities shift, sovereign Native American nations have their own plans Tribal governance takes a long view based in Native peoples’ deep history with these lands.

even as the feds attempt to diminish our sovereignty and cut into treaty obligations, Indigenous people will continue to put our bodies on the line to defend the land, the water, and all living things

There’s a reason why my people banned Kristi Noem from our reservations. It’s called homeland security from settler fascists.

Native American Rights Fund is using treaty obligations to sue the Trump admin over cuts to the Department of Education. Under the U.S. constitution, treaties are the supreme law of the land and in many, the federal government promised tribes it would provide their citizens with an education.

I mean it's not a coincidence that within a year of ICWA (an act that says "you can't just steal Native children) passing international adoption boomed.

It's the same evil people changing their supply

The Army Corps of Engineers is using the Trump exec order declaring an “energy emergency” to fast-track of the Line 5 Enbridge oil project. Six tribes cooperated and provided input that the Corps will likely ignore. The tribes have withdrawn their participation in protest.

Natives are citizens of Tribes - it is a political category legally (not a racial category) - just like being a citizen of your state. Programs serving Tribes & Natives are constitutional, trust responsibility, & treaty intergovernmental relationships with Tribal governments & their Tribal citizens.
