When Indigenous people say stolen land
we don't mean 500 years ago

In the late 1800s a lumber company had my g+ grandfather tell them stories & asked for an "autograph" on blank paper

They forged a land transfer

It's a golf course today

This is typical Native family history Another moment in typical Native family history:

Colonizer wanted farmland, said my great+ Aunt's [farm animal] gored him

Her tribe testified in court, she didn't even own [that type of animal], no one did

She lost, had to pay fees, her home/land was valued at the exact amount
