Native American attorney continuing the legacy of my relative Standing Bear who was the first Native American to win civil rights in the United States
My nephew is super cute and just smirking around happy to be alive!

This is Hatuey, a Taino leader the barbarian Spaniards burned alive. Before they murdered this Native American, they said he could accept Jesus Christ and still go to the Christian Heaven—Hatuey told them he’d rather burn in Hell than be around more “Christians” in the afterlife

This is a wagon loaded with Ponca children driving them away from their families to one of the government's Native American boarding schools where some died and all were brainwashed to hate their culture. This isn't taught in schools but is a real stain in American history

Elon Musk’s algorithm just forced the most unholy succession of garbage tweets onto my timeline that best exemplifies what that site has become

In 1892, federal officials told him the U.S. required more of our lands in the Indian Territory to accommodate the flood of White immigrants. He told them “all the increase coming from over the Big Water should stay on their own reservations” back in Europe where they belonged 🇺🇸

Trump just said he will use emergency powers and the military to deport overwhelmingly non-White people. My ancestor Chief White Eagle also advocated for aggressive deportation—but of the Whites, which he saw as “undesirable aliens,” regardless of when they entered America. #MAGA

Saw this and as a Native American in Oklahoma what I see are beneficiaries of land theft reaping the biggest government handout in history just for being White—no merit which is why they continued failing (its how they ended up in Kansas in the first place). This was such a crime

Welcome to the world’s newest Native American—my sister’s newborn son who is Ponca, Southern Cheyenne, Oglala Lakota and Otoe! I suggested they call him Šé’p’ahą́ga (SHAY-PAH-hone-gah) which is how one says first born son in our Ponca language. Indigenous people will always be here!
