Kenosha shooter Kyle Rittenhouse is represented by attorney L. Lin Wood, who represented Nicholas Sandmann who sued media outlets for defamation after Sandmann smugly stood in path of a Native elder (while his classmates tomahawked chopped). #MAGAKIDs #BlackLivesMatter
If we are being real, white supremacist law students are coddled and normalized in law school. Meanwhile, BIPOC feel forced to speak out when these students go off unchallenged in the classroom. Our lived experiences are put up for debate and we gaslighted regularly.

The idea that a basic right you hold could disappear overnight is unfathomable. Many in shock now. But for Native people, especially for Native women, it has been our reality that court cases and policies take and take, as that is the way of settler colonialism. #RoeVWade
Native women held power prior to colonization within in their tribal nations, it was settler colonialism that stole that away. The women’s rights movement lifted ideas from Native women, because our bodies, minds, and spirits were always ours.
Native women’s knowledge of plants ensured they had a choice of when and if they wanted to have a baby. Divorce was easy as putting their husbands possession’s outside the door. Settler colonial heteropatriarchy is foreign to these lands.

Living on a reservation, about half the time I order things that come UPS/FedEx, they drop it off at the USPS post office to our box. We got street signs pretty recently, but addresses not recognized by many online sites. Also, only place to get a money order here.
I have been thinking about the fact that you need money orders to pay for glasses at Optometry at our tribal hospital. Not everybody banks, so wouldn’t have anywhere to go for money orders without the USPS.
With the pandemic and my mom being immunocompromised, my family has been ordering online a lot more including food items and many things we would normally just shop for in person. We wanted to avoid going to malls or similar places as much as possible.

Honestly, at this point the “authentication” process for being Native could be if one of a few Native Elite gatekeepers has come to try to discredit you by labeling you a Pretendian.
That’s just me being facetious, of course. It’s disheartening to see Native people doing good work for the people, only for other Natives to try to destroy them. More disheartening that they use colonizer’s own tools like blood quantum to do it.
Yes, an aspect of tribal sovereignty is determining citizenship. We can acknowledge this and that many tribes still use blood quantum and are realizing very quickly how unsustainable it is and was purposely introduced for this exact reason.

I hope @KamalaHarris remembers.
When I say I hope Kamala Harris remembers, I mean I hope she remembers the valid critiques of her tribal sovereignty record and works to do right by Native people.
At the Native Forum in Sioux City, Kamala Harris did address the answer to this question, which was that she was representing her client (State of California) which meant she had to do things she didn’t necessarily believe in. Kinda sidestepped accountability.

My Winnebago Reservation has a mask policy for all businesses, and I have seen white people walk into the gas station convenience store, ignoring signs AND workers telling them they need a mask. It’s more than disrespectful, it’s absolutely malicious during these times.
I realize these encounters over masks are everywhere, but I have no doubt that the Midwest anti-Native sentiment also provokes this reaction at tribal businesses.
Even in law school, this idea of tribal sovereignty offended the senses of many of my classmates (and this is from the educated “elite” that have the privilege to attend.) Underlying this, is the savage barbarian tropes of Native people that many consider reality.

Thank you Black Lives Matter!

All you Native mascot activists better knock it off with the anti-Blackness now and forever. I don’t want to see any comparisons to the N-word or Blackface from Non-Black Natives. No “Native Lives Matter” either. Create your own saying.
