as someone who is partially indigenous (zacatecos and sámi), it is horrifying to see people just not care. it’s not something i talk about a lot because i have been thoroughly colonized and don’t look indigenous. maybe if i did the people around me would care but that just makes me feel worse.
these are my friends who talk big on social justice but never act on it. they post on their instagram stories but don’t sign petitions or pay attention to indigenous voices.
it’s like they only care for their image, not their friends. not the missing and murdered. not the land or the blood quantity or missionaries or oil pipes or tribal acknowledgment or national heritage protection or reservations or the mascots or whitewashing or anything that doesn’t pertain to them.
anyway that was my rant. fuck columbus and give our land back.
