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.👇
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.

I first encountered Savanna Greywind‘s story through some true-crime show, though I can‘t remember which one; when I saw this book on our shelf, I felt compelled to pick it up. I keep tearing up, because this is not a isolated event: our Indigenous sisters are disappearing and/or being murdered at horrifying rates, and too many of them are never given Justice. #searchingforsavanna #justiceforsavanna #savannagreywind #nomorestolensisters
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
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
