Absolutely detest pooping
If you’re genuinely interested in learning more about settler colonialism and answering questions like “wait what does land back look like?” “What can I do?” and “What are the contexts informing this and why do Indigenous people reject being part of the US/Canada?” there are free syllabi online which can answer these questions (they will not answer it directly, the point is to get you to think for yourself and ask more questions that can lead you to thinking more deeply about this and how you can personally take action towards better practices of solidarity)
Here’s the Standing Rock Syllabus:

These are limited resources that mainly deal with North America and English-speaking countries, because that’s the context I am coming from. If you have resources from other regions and other languages, I welcome them here, or anything from your local context.

Your blog is satire, right? This flesh pit isn’t a real thing??
Go to Texas, drive south on Ranch Rd 33 out of Garden City TX and take the exit near mile marker 177 until the road ends in a fence. If it is only satire, then you will have nothing to worry about.

Three Sisters
According to Iroquois legend, corn, beans, and squash are three inseparable sisters who only grow and thrive together. This tradition of interplanting corn, beans and squash in the same mounds, widespread among Native American farming societies, is a sophisticated, sustainable system that provided long-term soil fertility and a healthy diet to generations.
Corn provides a natural pole for bean vines to climb. Beans fix nitrogen on their roots, improving the overall fertility of the plot by providing nitrogen to the following years corn. Bean vines also help stabilize the corn plants, making them less vulnerable to blowing over in the wind. Shallow-rooted squash vines become a living mulch, shading emerging weeds and preventing soil moisture from evaporating, thereby improving the overall crops chances of survival in dry years. Spiny squash plants also help discourage predators from approaching the corn and beans. The large amount of crop residue from this planting combination can be incorporated back into the soil at the end of the season, to build up the organic matter and improve its structure.

Note for self: corn = maize, beans = green beans/runner beans, squash = pumpkin.
It’s not “”””Iroquois legend””” it’s our actual fucking culture and teachings across hundreds of different tribes. We aren’t dead and neither is this practice, so it isn’t just legend.
Reblogging for the awesome planting method from the Haudenosaunee (more commonly known by the exonym the Iroquois Confederacy) and for the reminder that all six of the First Nations peoples belonging to the Haudenosaunee still exist.
The colonizers of North America owe a great debt to all the nations of the Haudenosaunee - the Kanien’kehaka (the People of the Flint, commonly known by the exonym the Mohawk), the Onayotekaono, (the People of the Standing Stone, more commonly known by the exoynm the Oneida), the Onundagaono (the People of the Hills, more commonly known by the exonym Onondaga), the Guyohkohnyoh (the People of the Great Swamp, more commonly called by the exonym Cayuga), the Onondowahgah (the People of the Great Hill, more commonly known by the exonym the Seneca), and the Skaruhreh (The Shirt Wearing People, more commonly known by the exonym Tuscarora, who fled to sanctuary from North Carolina in 1722, turning the five nations to six), not just for the land they stole, but for how it was stewarded and maintained and for the farming techniques developed by them, without which the colonizers would have starved.
