Basically

[defectivegembrain]

It's unfortunate how often the solution to a problem is just talking to people. You'd think it could be something easier like making a comprehensive chart or list, or reading everything you can find on the subject, but no, so often you can do all that and you still have to talk to people.

i'm white so i'm sorry if i'm overstepping or just wrong but i don't understand why ndns didn't go to a plantbased diet after overhunting buffalo to almost extintion?

first off if you arent native dont use ndn, thats not your term to use

2nd, buffalo were hunted to near-extinction by white colonizers trying to starve indigenous tribes by killing off a major food source and using this piece of history against natives and implying that we should be vegan becase /were/ the ones that hunted them to near-extinction is racist and ahistorical

[doesthendnlive]

Wait, people think NATIVES overhunted buffalo to the point of near-extinction?

Did I actually read that with my own two eyes?

[danceswithsalmon]

Buffalo masacres were a genocidal tactic started in the mid 1800s to kill us off. Their phrase was “Every buffalo dead is an Indian gone.”

I just really want to say that the BLM movement is not a 2020 disaster by any means. I know a lot of ppl keep saying that this year keeps getting worse but I think that black voices finally being heard is a sign of improvement

Women Face 'Pervasive' Violence in the Face of the Environmental Crisis, Report Finds

Environmental destruction like deforestation, mining, and climate change aren’t just bad for ecosystems. They pose serious risks to women ar

“All women face environmental risks, especially in the Global South where extreme weather events are taking on new forms due as the planet heats up. There’s the unique risk women face when they are displaced from their home and become refugees. This can expose women, girls, and young children to human trafficking according to the report. In many parts of the world, women handle household duties and must manage food scarcity after extreme weather hits. When crops are wiped out, women are often left to deal with how to feed their children and families. The stress of these types of situations also allows for domestic violence to thrive, especially in cultures where this behavior is acceptable.”
