A post for awareness ...
This is the cover of the newest National Geographic magazine. As you can see by the cover, in it is a story about Indigenous People attempting to take back their rights. It mentions the landmark McGirt v Oklahoma decision in 2020 ... you know the decision our rogue Supreme Court overturned literally around the day I got this issue in the mail.
This weakening of Native Sovereignty has been lost in the shuffle with all the other shit that our rogue Supreme Court crapped out last month. I figure this should get more news especially with the suggestions that Sovereign lands open up abortion clinics. The ruling may make it possible for the feds to still convict women receiving abortions in those territories.

Disney owns National Geographic. Make with that whatever you like.

"Native Americans are reclaiming their lands and ways of life"...SCOTUS: "Psych!"

Thank you for bringing this to attention

The only surprising thing about this post to me is that they’re still publishing National Geographic.

A foreign mining consortium was granted Federal land in AZ for a copper mine, land that includes Oak Flat, a sacred site to the Apaches.

As a ppl they can’t look out for their own best interest, they tried, who remembers A.I.M. still no running water, just assimilate, sorry

Scotus problems aside, claiming land the "Indigenous" took from some other Humans that were then took from them...sounds legit. Humans.

Should Native lands get Westphalian sovereignty, how would they be handled in relation to the US? Landlocked independence or as states?

It must be hard to watch a bunch of immigrants destroying your country
PieceOfCake1
Not immigrants! Colonizers. Important difference

I feel there was an upturn in interest in Indigenous culture after Avatar came out/1

At this point, I would say we should kick everybody out and give it all back to the Natives.
JustTryingToLiveLife
Uhh what now? Kick out 400 million americans who own homes and shit, just make them all refugees?? Yes thats totally progress right there…
RetrogradeLlama
The feds won't convict them; the states will try because of this corrupt SCOTUS.
SecondAccountforDoingOtherShit
Which was the goal
DontPutThatInThere
Good. It was always their land.
DontPutThatInThere
On top if that, no, opening abortion clinics on THEIR land should never have been a thought; they owe everyone else nothing.

Take the country from the corporations and give it back to its rightful people.
commonsense440
"Rightful people" you are indeed naïve. You actually think this particular group of Humans sprang from the ground? That they did not take?
VaultGirl69
Rightful "nations". You are correct, they weren't one people, but they also didn't deserve to be nearly fully exterminated.
PerpetualExhaustion
“Rouge Supreme Court” is a term I never hoped to hear, yet here we are… they are literally dismantling personal freedoms, and if you support

Their actions,I want you to know that you will be burning in your Christian hell, if it exists. And you will deserve it.

It should be pointed that trump appointee Justice Gorsuch has always pushed for the rights of native Americans and wrote a scathing dissent.
afatrollofmyown
More like Gorsucks, amiright
zHurk777
It should be pointed out that an Obama appointee should have been on the court, instead of gorsuch.
badtouchpanda
Great, doesn’t mean Gorsuch isn’t a fucking crime against humanity

Broken clock is right twice a day. Still fuckin broken though.

Indeed. Real life evil isn't cartoon evil, where bad people exclusively commit evil deeds while cackling at the pristine heroes.

Is it weird to be a white person who completely admires the Native people's and their beautiful cultures? I don't want to offend by
KleptoKea
You could show admiration by organising movements to stop the ongoing genocide against them and theft of their land and culture.
chickensareawesome
Appropriating anything, but I love to listen, and learn, and compliment when I can.
KingKelloggTheWaffleHaggler
Hello,.mix race dude here. Part native (3 tribes woo) enjoy whatever you want dude . It's not appropriation to partake in cultures

frozenbabylon
Not at all. I grew up learning to love their culture. I have a small amount of native blood in my line and I feel like it's my duty to learn
commonsense440
What culture was that? Destroying other tribes and taking their land. You want to know the nice, not the entire history of "their culture"
SalmySwims
I feel that. Learning is not appropriating. You just gotta be respectful and understanding, imo.

How do we get around the paywall?
GreenMnM
Honestly, they should just take it. Just like we did. And let us live on reservations. Its clear that we can't manage it well. We just fail
JustTryingToLiveLife
And then what, force 100s of millions of people into places only meant for 4.5mil then 4.5mil people in a place meant for 100s of millions?
ilovebigmutts
missing the point that reservations don't work.
GreenMnM
Apparently neither dies dark humor
storebrandproductmascot
I think that IS the point. Putting the white people into a system that intentionally works against them. The same one they supported.
Krakencrotch
Bruh you think they don't know? THAT is the point, they want to be oppressors.
