@CANADALAND
, not even an email indicating they are investigating the abysmal journalism of their "Pretendian Hunter" podcast.
They featured a Pretendian w/no fact-checking & denounced the work of an actual Native woman journalist. Response?
This whole Elizabeth Warren 1/512ths DNA "proof" of Native ancestry hurts Native people because it adds to the Republican attack that we are "race-based" and not citizens of nations.

Sen. Warren, who during Standing Rock in 2016 (when she was still claiming to be Native) never spoke out to advocate for the Water Protectors. Instead, she spoke sympathetically about the plight of DAPL pipeline workers. How does this "Honor Treaties?

Thanks for discounting and marginalizing my voice as a Native thinker, cultural critic & journalist. Quoting Native Courtiers is not the same as the work I do. They are going to DC seeking funding and contracts. Also, your take on the Cherokee SoS is incredibly offensive.
So where is this idea coming from that tribes are furious with Warren?
An unelected official at Cherokee Nation issued a scathing statement about her DNA test. Multiple ppl told me he was only speaking for himself. His statement is no longer online.
To all U.S. Senator Warren supporters:
If you really care about resolving this, telling Cherokee people and other Natives to shut up is NOT the answer.
THIS is the answer: demand Sen. Warren deal with this issue in a way that is respectful to the Cherokee Nation. That is all.
Ohio wasn't discovered. Indigenous nations like the Miami & Shawnee lived there already. The Revolutionary War was fought because King George III forbade the colonists & land speculators like George Washington from invading.
I grew up in Ohio and know a bunch of random facts about the state. The irony of
@realDonaldTrump
supporters in Ohio being anti-immigrant is that Ohio was literally discovered by an immigrant.

Still need U.S. Senator Warren to meet with Cherokee Nation leadership. Going around them for 7 years (to other tribes, etc.) is not acceptable. She actually made her appearance at a Native Forum contingent on not having to meaningfully address them.
If you want to learn more about Bears Ears please check out a book I had the honor of editing "Edge of Morning Native Voices for Bears Ears". It features the voices and perspectives of numerous Native leaders (ReGina Lopez, Jonah Yellowman, Willie Gray E…
Wow, but huh. $3.5 million for 84 counts?

The Lummi nation, a sovereign Native American tribe in the PNW, will soon open a pioneering field hospital to treat coronavirus patients, as part of a wave of strong public health measures which have gone further than many governments.

This "race-based" argument was recently cited by a federal judge in Texas to declare ICWA unconstitutional and in violation of the 14th Amendment. The goal here is to declare TRIBES unconstitutional because they are "race-based."

An estimated 30% or more of people on the Navajo Nation live without running water.

Someone tell this guy, those aren't "immigrants" but Lakota citizens and Mt. Rushmore is the desecration of a sacred mountain that under treaty ratified by the U.S. Senate still belongs to the Great Sioux Nation.
My grandmother asked for a 2nd autopsy for my grandfather when he died in police custody in Yankton, South Dakota. The pain of his death stayed with my dad and his family. They couldn't even speak of it.

This footage clearly shows they related to what the elder was doing in a disrespectful way. And why didn't the chaperones step in? They are responsible for this. As a parent, I'd be pissed if teachers I entrusted my kids to allowed this to go this far.
Can we get stop calling this beautiful river “Columbia” after Columbus? Nch'i-Wána is the name those who loved this beautiful and bountiful body of water called her.

Thanks for dismissing Native voices on this. The apology took 7 years and she still hasn't apologized or spoken to the Delaware Nation leadership. And you still got Native identity all wrong which is the real problem here.

And did the Macarthur Genius know he may have just matched her DNA to other fake Cherokees? Did he control for that? Without documentation of the specific ancestor that remains a strong possibility.
