Imagine the sheer audacity to say that Navajo people and the native Americans are not citizens. Even the mere suggestion is a fucking disgrace

Doctors Without Borders had to come in to the richest country in the world to help the Navajo Nation because the US government did this instead.
Culminating in Navajo Nation asking the federal government for PPE and being sent BODY BAGS. Not "limited PPE and some body bags." Just body bags.

So yeah, we know EXACTLY what holding our noses and being in coalition with people who want us dead means.

It means we fucking die.

Another favorite is the treaties with the Native Americans were so long ago. Our government today shouldn’t be held to those agreements. Most of them were from Lincoln’s presidency.
Some people say things like

"Slavery was a long time ago, why are you still bringing it up?"

and also

"It’s very important to consider what the founders would have thought about this thing happening today."

#Documentary

“In his push to "make America great again," President Trump has launched a sweeping crackdown on "illegal immigration." But one unexpected community is caught in the crossfire: Native Americans.
This 20-minute documentary takes you inside a reservation…”

Why do the native Americans get screwed over so much by the government ?
Today the Apache Stronghold went to the US Supreme Court, laying down prayers as they filed the Re-appeal to Protect Oak Flat and Mother Earth. They ask everyone to unite in prayer with them as they continue to defend their sacred site from a destructive copper mining project.

A nation of Native Americans and immigrants no longer have protections from the Constitution???? This is the most shameful thing I’ve seen so far today.

I keep thinking about the incandescent rage and violent sorrow #FirstNations folks might be feeling. Imagine the horror on top of the existing trauma of watching a lunatic commit every crime imaginable & doing irreparable damage for generations to come internally & externally. #Indigenous #LandBack

One of the things that keeps missing from the conversation about the govt trying to sell off all this land is the importance of these areas to Native Americans.

They would lose cultural sites including religious areas, traditional foods, and access to water.

I was on YouTube, then got a notification for the News. I am not surprised at what Trump did and I can't solve that problem. So, I will share an Apache Prayer Song from my people The White Mountain Apache Tribe.
Pls stay safe.

It should also be pointed out LOUDLY that there's significant overlap between those lands and the last remaining Native American reservations.

The cruelty, as always, is a bonus... if not the point outright.

If the bill passes, the Senate could authorize the sale of up to 3.3 million acres of public land across 11 Western states, threatening iconic areas like Lake Tahoe, Mammoth Lakes, Happy Canyon, and public forests near Grand Teton.

Why a lot of Native American deaths are not counted

American Indians and Alaska Natives in the United States live nearly four years less than official statistics would have you believe.

This will affect Native Americans as well. We know that white people stole the land in the first place, and I’m not diminishing that horrible act.
Next, Trump will be selling Native American Reservations.
