Everyone can see that prioritizing public health over private profit leads to better health outcomes at less cost. Siding with private profit in the face of this evidence says everything.

In Seneca, the opposum is called dzagoyö:di:h "the smiling one" - and that's just perfect.

Some turkey facts:

- In the Potawatomi calendar, the month of November is Pne'kesis - the turkey moon.

- Colonization nearly made wild turkeys extinct. By the early 1900s, there were only 30,000 in the entire US.
- English-speakers called it a turkey, thinking it the same bird as the African guineafowl imported from Turkey at the time. Turks called it a hindi, thinking it from India. Same with the French (poulet d’Inde - literally “chicken from India”), Dutch (kalkoen, a contraction of
Calicut-hoen, literally “hen from Calicut”) and others. In Hindi, it's a tarki, but in some places in India, it's a peru, a name they got from the Portuguese, who were also wrong because turkeys are not native to Peru. The expansion of Western colonialism only complicated matters

Map: "Indian Country" from NatGeo
If Native people, cultures, and languages seem invisible, it's because of deliberate colonial erasure. Indigenous people are 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲.
Natives in the Northeast are survivors of genocide and 400 years of such erasure. Their communities practice a living culture. It's not even that they're misunderstood - it's that false colonial narratives contend that they 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗲𝘅𝗶𝘀𝘁.

Colonizers have long used flags as a tool of control. In their twisted idea of land "ownership" sticking a flag in the ground somehow meant the land was theirs, as if the people who actually lived there had no rights on the basis of not having their own flag.
(Pictured: Māori)
Now, Indigenous nations are reclaiming the flag as a source of cultural pride - and their designs are more beautiful and meaningful than any colonial flag.

Contrary to popular belief, coal isn't made from dinosaurs. It's much older than that. We're burning peat bogs compressed over 300 million years. And it's taken less than a century to burn through most of it.

Map: USGS, 1985
The biggest regret - aside from, you know, destroying the planet - is that this one time gift of concentrated energy wasted. Fossil fuels weren't used to create thriving, livable communities.
They were squandered on paving roads and parking lots, building shopping centers and subdivisions, filling them all up with single-use plastic, and fueling our cars to commute alone to work. Everyone lost - the working class, Indigenous peoples, the planet.
