I'm Lakota and I've seen the first one. I think James Cameron is a tool. He called us hopeless and said we have a dead end society but if our ancestors saw the future, they would have "fought harder"

Hi, Indigenous person here.
I've never seen any of the avatar movies, and after what James Cameron said about the Lakota people, I never will.

i don’t think everyone needs to like every film but the way people refuse to even take the avatar series seriously in any capacity feels so performative in a way no other series has ever been treated, very odd to me

Savings that were supposed to go to AC/heat repair spent on essentials so we re back to needing $995 for AC and heat motor repair. Still going to be owing on upcoming bills, if we can't get it met asap we stay in deficit.

How expensive is it for you to feel safe?
I was thinking about how almost everything marginalized folx spend goes in some way to consideration towards safety. More rent for a safer apt, more travel expenses to move around at safer times or maybe afford a car, higher prices to shop in safer stores

60 minutes CECOT segment. Recorded through my browser. HD quality. Not phone. Spread it around. If you're press, it's yours. Go nuts.
It's streaming on a Canadian website, but there is no telling for how long.

talkin 'bout the permissions of servitude compounded by racial fetishization.
So many settlers are also used to projecting "the help"/translator dynamics like sacagewea onto Indigenous ppls they encounter. As if Indigenous worlds don't exist outside of being appointed a perpetual role as an interpreter for colonizers.
Some ppl are discomforted by this and experience extinction burst because they're not used to Natives actually asserting their presence as autonomous human beings.

Why do we as Indigenous people always have to be either hopeless, resilient, or barbaric?
Just let us exist without labeling us as sacred noble warriors, helpless and hopeless, or violent and primitive. We are people, not tropes.

![I couldn't help but think that if they [the Lakota Sioux] had had a time-window and they could see the future… and they could see their kids committing suicide at the highest suicide rates in the nation… because they were hopeless and they were a dead-end society – which is what is happening now – they would have fought a lot harder."
Not all Brazilians have taken kindly to Cameron's engagement with the indigenous cause. "This type of intervention strengthens the belief… that the aim of the ecological movement is simply to maintain the status quo of the world economy," one columnist wrote in the Monitor Mercantil newspaper last week, adding that "Cameron's colonialist message" was an attempt to "exterminate the future of Brazil".](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:r6zvx4rv2twgjyywefolvdmc/bafkreigecbn5rch6ab2if6ayvnvvflyxy2gokjziawe5l4sidvjpoqpwmi@jpeg)
