One online article stated “In 2023, over 5,800 American Indian and Alaska Native females were missing – and 74% were children.“

Meant to post about this in June...Yikes! It's already almost August.

Just wanted to post about this 100 year anniversary.

The Indigenous people in the U.S.A. were not considered American citizens until June 1924.

The “Americas“ (as in both continents) had a beautiful landscape, occupied by numerous tribes for millennia.👇

AnnCrystal A few history notes:

There was an immense population.

There was Trade.

Stargazers (there were some Indigenous clans who lived, documented, and built by the stars and seasons before Egypt, Stonehenge, etc.).

And there was even Chaco, where tribal people from different clans (from all over the Americas) are said to have traveled and gathered in conference.

Etc.👇 (edited) 4mo

AnnCrystal Yet, in the U.S.A. the Indigenous were not citizens until 1924. It wouldn't be until 1954 when Indigenous would be allowed to vote in all states. And not until 1978 when Indigenous would legally be allowed to practice traditional cultural spirituality & religion.

In the U.S. 100 hundred years ago my ancestors were recognized as citizens of their own land. A land we have loved for thousands of years, & continue to want the best for🇺🇲🦅🇺🇸💝. (edited) 4mo

Addressing the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Peoples Crisis, Locally and Beyond.

“awareness for the disproportionate violence Indigenous women face -- which in certain communities is 10 times more than the national average. California has the sixth highest death rate“

Saw this on the news today, needed to share.

Based on the indigenous teenage author's open letter to the Winnipeg Chief of Police about the police and media response should she go missing. This book brings Awareness to the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls in Canada. #MMIWG #teachersoflitsy

Blueberry Have you ever read Seven Fallen Feathers: Racism, Death and Hard Trurgs in a Northern City? Same subject matter in nonfiction. I can't remember it is was also set in Winnipeg. 4y

Blueberry Trurgs should be Truths. 😆 I didn't want to retype the whole thing. 4y
