Keeping Native children with Native families, in Native homes, and in Native communities is our absolute and inherent right as sovereign peoples/nations!
When we tell you settler colonialism is an ongoing process that still harms, displaces, dispossesses, and erases Natives while promoting Indigenous genocide, you only need to look at the attack on ICWA and how our children have been used as a means of dismantling our sovereignty!
Asserting that the settler state recognizes and honors our rights to our children and for them to remain in community with our peoples is not an exercise in discrimination but instead an exercise in political, cultural, and inherent sovereignty!

Settlers and guests would gain so much more from Land Back than they’d lose!
So focused on what they assume they’d be deprived of instead of accounting for all they’ve lost and/or are loosing under settler colonialism, white supremacy, and racial capitalism!
The plant is literally burning! We are over surveilled and over policed! Oligarchs are stealing wealth and demanding more of us for the sake of “the economy!” Mitch McConnell! Monsanto! The banks! Shall I continue?!
“Decolonizing” most institutions would actually mean dissolving them and closing them down as most institutions are colonial by design and by function.
Since y’all here, please consider signing this petition to support the Choctaw Freedmen in their bid to gain citizenship in the Choctaw Nation. They are close to their goal of 1500 signatures.
Folks really trying to gaslight by asking me to define colonial institutions! It’s 2022! If you don’t know which institutions are colonial you either haven’t been paying attention or you’re benefiting from them and don’t want to see them burn!
