In the spirit of #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth and #IndigeNovember, I'm making a #MutualAid post.

If you are indigenous & need a financial boost, post your c4sh l1nks below! Outreach has not been great, but I want to help as best as I can!

Mine is also below if you so choose 🥺

The 4th year of #IndigeNovember starts this weekend! Here are rules and the prompts! If you have questions, feel free to message me! Indigenous peoples from all over (full or mixed) are welcome to join! Keep in mind all creatives are welcome; it doesn't HAVE to be drawings! 😊💖

A graphic explaining what Indigenovember entails. It reads:

"Inspired by #Blacktober, it is an event in the month of November
where Indigenous creators (by any medium) can express themselves.
They can either follow the prompt list or post anything they want
whenever they want! I only ask that if you post something NSFW or
disturbing in the tag, please tag/tw them accordingly!

I thought of this as the perfect time for an event like this because of
the fact November is Native Heritage Month! I wanted to create an
event that can allow fellow Natives (full or mixed) to have fun and be
creative all month long! With that, have fun and be nice to each other!

*NOT limited to indigenous peoples of the US*"

Rules for the event. They read:

"Rules:
*NSFW is allowed as long as it is tagged/censored.

*Unfortunately, because breasts are yet to be re-normalized,
it would be best to tag them as breasts or nudity.

PLEASE Absolutely No:
*Non-con/SA
*Pedophilia
*Incest
*Homophobia
*Transphobia
*Racism
*Colorism
*Xenophobia
*Ableism
*Any form of
"Problematic" Content"

A list of the weekly prompts
It reads:

"Week 1. Community:
What does community mean to you? Do you have one?
Or are you on your way to developing your own?

Week 2. Limited Color:
A small challenge where you're restricted to using 2 colors.
(Neutrals excluded from restriction)

Week 3. Tech:
What's a cool piece of tech that you like or want to know about?
It can be just the item, or someone presenting it!

Week 4. Treasure
Not only gold and jewels, but small treasures you may find in
your daily life. See a lost trinket? What interests you?

A list for the daily prompts. They are:

1. Native Headcanon
2. Favorite Color
3. Bug
4. Comfort
5. Rain
6. Moth
7. Love Language
8. Death
9. Chair
10. Pelt
11. Eyes
12. Tech

#blacktober The month's almost over but I'd like to give out a PSA

Go support the sister events that'll take place in November, as well as May next year!

Indigenovember is for all Indigenous creatives, and Maysia's for all Asian creatives. Both were influenced by Blacktober and deserve support too
