My tribe is 81% vaccinated (12yr+) and we still have a mask mandate in place. We have been sitting at zero cases since at least Feb. 25th.
It’s almost like these things work.
Warming shelters should not have no drugs/no alcohol rules in these temperatures. People will die frozen to the sidewalk rather than going in to warm up and risk getting sick. People living with addiction are still people, still loved, and still valued.
Land Back idea: Whenever a Non-Native landowner passes and they don’t have a will, or don’t include their land in it, it goes to a lottery and a Native person whose traditional territory the land is on can win it.
If I made a TikTok or YouTube series where I read Indigenous children’s books, would ya’ll watch my videos?? I’m going through my childhood bookshelf and have SO MANY.
I was so excited for our little rez to get a skatepark, but I heard we missed the deadline for letter submissions. I wish Tony Hawk would just come here and build one like he did for Navajo Nation lol We live in the middle of nowhere and our kids would love it.
I always wonder how non-Native people end up on the rez. There’s at least one on every rez who is part of the community, is cool with everyone, and gets invited to everything. Might even have a ndn name 😂
Keeler is attacking me on here because of a previous tweet. We come from the same tribe and I have the receipts.🙃 Hopefully I don’t end up on her little list.😂
Hi settlers! For u, today is a day of giving thanks for all that u have. For us, as Indigenous people, its a reminder of the genocide that we have experienced
So here is ur reminder to uplift Native voices today (& everyday) & send us a few bucks

So many people refuse to acknowledge that a lot of time children’s first bullies are their parents. When you bully a child you are no longer their safe place. Parents need to take responsibility to work through their own trauma so that it isn’t projected onto the little ones.
Okay, they should’ve put a HUGE TW at the beginning of this week’s
@RezDogsFXonHulu
episode. TW Suicide. If you can’t handle seeing images of suicide, DONT WATCH. RT So others know.
So I heard from an Auntie: Rez Dogs has been breaking the WGA strike this whole time. There’s a loophole that if a picket doesn’t show up, they can keep filming without technically being strike breakers. They film in OK so who’s gonna go out there to picket
I know this is “taboo” and might make some people uncomfortable, but check your privilege before you make up in your mind who is and isn’t worthy of not freezing to death.
They closed Tyson for FOUR DAYS. Close the whole damn plant down for two weeks with pay. The COVID outbreak is disproportionately affecting POC and the company should be held accountable for all the cases that came from the plant!
We went to the local craft shop the other day ‘cause I needed some beads. My daughter was checking out the hides and said “Mom, look at these hides. They’re alright but we can make better ones. Look at the holes in this one.” IN FRONT OF THE STORE OWNER. I’m- 😑😂
I not an “I will unfollow you if you’re still following this person in x-amount of hours” person. However, I do have many mutuals still following this acct and I need you all to know that she is dangerous, especially to Indig/vulnerable people.

When my daughter was really young she asked where her other mom is. I asked who her other mom is, she said “I have another mom. Our car tipped over and now you’re my mom.”
Interesting bedtime chat with my 3 year old tonight: “daddy, I had a family a long time ago & my mummy was called Sochi & I was called Anke but then I died & now I’m with your family,” Anyway, if anyone needs me, I’ll be up cleaning the pants I just shat for the rest of the night

That question is uncalled for and rude to even be asking. Everyone is navigating their own circumstances and your question could be triggering.
I do language work, so I’m not saying don’t share your knowledge, but AI is catching on to it. We need to protect our languages so maybe posting words and their translations should be more private.
They’re showing Smoke Signals at the drive-in and donating 100% of the admissions to fire victim relief. I wanna go so bad, but the kids are too young for that movie still.😭
Hi friends! An elder in our community needs help replacing her transmission in her family’s only vehicle. She had to leave work to care for her husband fulltime after he suffered 5 strokes. She also cares for her grandson, whose father passed on last year.
Hi everyone! Ive recently gotten a lot of new followers so I should introduce myself! I go by Heron or Henu & I use she/her pronouns. I’m HoCak & Dakota. I tweet about Indig issues, sewing, beading, trying to navigate higher education, parenting, and my daily thoughts. Welcome!
Hi friends! I’m an Indigenous mom of 4 and we just bought our first home! Moving costs are expensive, so I’m hoping to crowdfund for gas & renting a trailer. Pinagigi! Thank you!
You wanna know the absolute worst feeling in the world? Your child bawling and begging to not have to go to their other parent’s house and having to send them anyway because of the court system.
