That mountain is Denali. It was Denali long before the first foreigner named “McKinley” stepped off a rickety boat from Europe and it always will be Denali

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

Old White men drawn to Thailand are inherently weird and perhaps this one should have respected their laws before opening his mouth in a foreign country. This is a clear cut case of someone who already knew finding out. I don’t feel sorry for him one bit. They can keep him

I block every single right wing post forced onto my X timeline by the algorithm and have been doing so daily for months on end, yet without fail, half a dozen new right wing accounts posting junk is served up for consumption. Total junk

“Western civilization” has advanced from trying to kill Indigenous peoples for their lands to trying to kill them for YouTube views and social media clout. Truly a backward society

Maybe your family “came over on the Mayflower.” So what? If they threw my Ponca, Pawnee and Kiowa ancestors off their own American homelands here for no good reason, I think they can do it to anyone—it just takes the right bad guy to come along to pick the “good Whites” from the “bad” ones . . .

Considering the Whites in charge of the US government forcibly removed Native Americans from their own lands without due process in violation of treaties, I think everyone present in the US is probably fair game to be removed for any reason without due process—the American way

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

Oh look everyone, the dysfunctional Trump clown show has already resumed and he hasn’t even been sworn in yet this time. We are so back 🇺🇸

I don’t care how this or that Cabinet pick may be bad for Ukraine, has bad tattoos, bad public health views, or bad because Russia likes them and the reason why is Gaetz is uniquely dangerous. DOJ can quickly oppress Trump’s opposition—it’s why he picked an unqualified sycophant. He intends to do it

He should make his “self-driving cars” really good at not causing accidents anymore first

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!
