Dedicated to my auntie, (Image from the 90's, how I will always remember her. She was 70 when she passed) I can't explain what it's like to lose pillars of your life.

White-Passing Natives

The following slides are from an Instagram post about white-passing Natives and specific behaviors. Those behaviors are based on white supremacy works. The comments were a mixture of education, lived experience, and valid criticism. Someone suggested the tone of post was angry. And yes, I am angry when I see white-passing Natives who act in white supremacist behaviors, including being the only face of an Indigenous organization. https://www.instagram.com/p/DZvpPyIGVzw/?utm_so

What does "decolonize" mean?

What is "decolonize" even mean!? I am not an expert on decolonization anything. There are many great definitions or interpretations out there. I am always learning from all decolonization perspectives. Hopefully, the list below peaks your interest enough to begin your own journey. In this blog post, I will highlight some of the "decolonization" readings that really opened my eyes to what it means to decolonize. The Unravelling of a Colonized Mind by Jana-Rae Yerxa Read here:.

1.
Many Indigenous communities are evacuating to cities and towns that are especially racist & hostile towards them. I can't imagine how much this compounds the trauma of fleeing and losing your home. Please show up with care & humility for calls to action & mutual aid efforts, it's the least we can do.
Just look at the comments in neighborhood groups & social media posts about evacuees. It's harrowing & shameful.

2.
I want us to stop saying "no one is doing anything" and "no one cares". Its true that the political elites aren't intervening, but saying that fosters apathy & the inevitability of our suffering. Most importantly it dismisses the ordinary & organized resistance of people living this crisis.
This "wildfire season" like every year, it's been Indigenous people organizing evacuations, care packages, food & shelter, activities & support, gatherings & connections.
Our elected politicians may be doing next to nothing but I've seen so many Anishinaabe people, especially women, immediately respond to the needs of their community. Even the children are mobilizing. Like Chance Paavola, a teenager from Namaygoosisagagun First Nation who rescued people from the wildfires in his boat.
This is true of every catastrophe, from Khartoum to Kanesatake, we keep us safe.

Not every Native Nation lived in a tipi. From Mandan-Hidatsa earth lodges to Haudenosaunee longhouses, Pueblo adobe homes, Dine Hogans, Inuit igloos, and Mississippian houses at Cahokia, Indigenous peoples built architecture tuned to their homelands-not Hollywood stereotypes.

The Assembly of First Nations [AFN] passed an emergency resolution that calls on #Canada to criminalize residential school denialism. The advocacy organization, which represents chiefs countrywide, is holding its annual general assembly in #Ottawa this week.
________

Residential school denialism continued to be a hot topic at this year's Assembly of First Nations annual general meeting in Ottawa.

Anishinabek Nation Grand Council Chief Linda Debassige brought up a recent incident as an example of why denialism should be a hate crime.

On this day in 1978, walkers reached Washington, D.C., after more than 3,000 miles and five months in defense of treaty rights, Tribal sovereignty, and Indigenous self-determination in what became known as The Longest Walk.

The walkers accomplished their goal of raising awareness and stopping eleven federal bills that threatened to weaken Tribal sovereignty by undermining treaty rights, opening reservation lands to resource extraction, and eroding the government-to-government relationship between Tribal Nations and the United States.

The Longest Walk is not just history. It reminds us that every generation faces new attempts to weaken Tribal sovereignty, exploit Indigenous lands, and erode treaty obligations. The resistance of 1978 offers both a lesson and an invitation: protect what previous generations fought to defend.

Remembering The Longest Walk isn’t about looking backward—it’s about understanding the present. As debates over Tribal sovereignty, resource extraction, sacred places, and treaty obligations continue today, the walk reminds us that Indigenous resistance has always been rooted in ceremony, community, and an unwavering commitment to future generations.

Today, we honor the walkers—many of whom are still with us—whose courage, sacrifice, and vision helped shape the path forward. May we carry their footsteps forward by continuing the work they began: defending Tribal sovereignty, protecting sacred places, and honoring the promises enshrined in treaties.

Across the country, #Indigenous Nations are helping lead some of the most ambitious conservation efforts to protect wildlife, at-risk species and the lands and waters that sustain all of us. But protecting the places that sustain us all is a shared responsibility. We need allies who listen, advocate, and stand alongside Guardians and Indigenous communities in turning this vision into reality. We invite all of you to amplify Indigenous voices, back systemic change, help change mentalities, overturn harmful stereotypes, and actively support Indigenous-led initiatives.

APTN's Keira Stephens attended the first golf tournament in Manitoba that is raising awareness for missing and murdered Indigenous men and boys. She shares with us some highlights and why it is important to these golfers to spread
awareness.

From @matriarchalcircle Instagram post:
Did you know that 71% of all deceased missing Indigenous person cases in Canada are men and boys?
Yet, if you look at mainstream news or available community programming across the country, it feels like this crisis doesn't exist. The support systems are completely empty.
Last week, on Wednesday, July 8, 2026, 36 teams of golfers, community allies, and leaders gathered at Bel Acres Golf & Country Club in Stony Mountain, Manitoba to change that. They stepped onto the green for the powerful 1st Annual Missing and Murdered Men and Boys Golf Tournament, hosted by the incredible organizers at Makwa Andawiiwen Inc.
This initiative is a massive wake up call to a country that has looked away for too long. Statistics Canada reports that Indigenous men are seven times more likely to be murdered than non-Indigenous men. Despite these undeniable facts, their stories are routinely shut out of national inquiries and headlines.
University of Saskatchewan Professor John Hansen shed light on why these victims are left behind, noting that harmful stereotypes "really desensitizes Canadians from looking at it." Tournament organizer Karin Chief spoke directly to this massive gap on the
course: "Our men and our boys are overlooked. We need the same support [for them as] for our women, girls, two-spirit, and gender-diverse people."When the system leaves a void, grassroots initiatives like this have to build the solution from scratch. Every dollar raised from this tournament goes directly toward creating dedicated safety resources, support groups, and social programming, specifically for Indigenous men and boys. This movement is growing, but it can not survive in silence. We need to fill the empty spaces left by the media.

500+ people came to our first event last year. We brought out representatives from the Gabrielino Tongva Tribe of Los Angeles to open the rally. Up until that point there were only 4-5 people down there every night holding the line since June 10th. A few days later we got footage of children in chains at MDC and that night the 24/7 Occupy ICE LA Camp was born.

Oversight of these Concentration Camps is mandatory! If our State and City reps won't do it, then it's left up to the People to do it! Don't look away. Don't be afraid. Show up. This is our time. This is our History. ICE out of LA!

On this episode, we sit down with Emery Assiniboine, a Dakota social worker, artist, parent educator, and cradle board maker from Long Plain First Nation.

Emery shares her work revitalizing cradle board teachings, supporting Indigenous families, and reclaiming traditional parenting practices. Together, we discuss intergenerational healing, the impacts of residential schools on family systems, raising children in a good way, and the connection between healthy families, culture, and nationhood.

This conversation explores parenting, kinship, identity, and the ongoing work of rebuilding Indigenous family systems for future generations.

Why is an uppercase letter so important?

Uppercase is used in English to denote proper nouns, which include ethnicities and nationalities (ex: "German", not "german"). Lowercase "native" is an adjective typically used to describe plants, animals, or objects that are "native" to a local region. Using uppercase "Native" to describe an Indigenous person is not only grammatically correct, but also acknowledges their identity, something especially important considering our long history of genocide and cultural erasure.

I've always found it strange that the cities have huge churches on a big plot of land. Why do we not have Tee Pees up like that in a metropolitan area?
Why don't we have a place where we can all go to learn our religion/traditions if we live in the city and pass it on to our kids? This is the Indigenous People of Turtle Islands land. We need to start treating the cities like our rez because it's always been our rez before they got their English names. Our traditional ways shouldn't stop at the boundaries of these reservations the Europeans put us in. @mercilesssindiansavage

One of the most beautiful parts of Mexican culture we've seen recently is its sense of community. It's a culture that creates spaces where everyone can feel like they belong.

'No one is safe to walk on the street anymore.

All week our families have bled. Raids have taken over Lake Worth, with undercover cars and helicopters hunting our families. A mother pushing her grocery cart as she walked with her child was detained and traumatized. Bicyclists and pedestrians were racially profiled and taken. Passengers on their way home were abducted.

Today we received a call that children were being interrogated by Florida Highway Patrol and ICE without a parent and that the officers would not release them. We ran over
immediately, one of a dozen calls we answered today. We told ICE that they can't hold minors as collateral, that they can't break into the business without a judicial warrant.

The man they took is a father and business owner who has a valid work permit and drivers license. Upon seeing the officers heading towards the bakery, the owner went inside and locked the doors to protect the workers. ICE and Florida Highway Patrol decided to target him and he decided to surrender voluntarily to prevent escalation.
The man they took followed the legal process and was still detained. We cry with the children who had their #father wrongly taken.

No one is safe, only steps from City Hall and the Sheriffs Office.'

'why do we even need a disability pride month?' here are some
reasons...
☑
1. because disability support is constantly being stripped from people all over the world 2. because disability is still spoken about as if it's a niche or rare thing
3. because there are people out there who still believe disabled lives are not worth living 4. because ableism and exclusion are massive hurdles disabled people often still face
5. because disabled people are still forgotten about all the time, even in spaces that are 'inclusive'
6. because there are disabled people out there who are actively trying to hide their disability from others
7. because disabled people should be able to exist happily as they are without feeling ashamed.
