And the context, history and racism of “Indian” is covered in this book. So read it and again try to not to just instinctively dismiss something that may actually being said by an expert just because he’s deliberately using “problematic” language to highlight injustices

I agree it’s a word steeped in the deep settler colonial history of this history but context matter quite a bit with this particular word. ”Indian” has a legal definition that is still used today and unfortunately is often the only word that most people know what even to call an indigenous person

Good thing us Ojibwe trust him from all his work promoting antiracist education at all levels on top of being an excellent author on our history. Next time do a basic google search before trying to take someone down a peg. Or watch one of his videos if you’re actually trying to be an ally.

It only seems radically leftist if you don’t believe in making health a human right
