thanksgiving is a holiday based on a falsified narrative full of white guilt and the erasure of history so what are some good native organizations to donate to this coming thursday

Quite frankly the insistence that any level of indigenous sovereignty is tantamount to an ethnostate just reeks of the “merciless Indian savages” line in the Declaration of Independence

Y’all really think we’re so simple and hateful that for us to hold any level of agency means we’ll want to send every person not Amerindigenous off turtle island

There are graves and sacred sites to be restored, and allowed peace. There are ecosystems to be restored, and returned to careful stewardship. There is work to be done and places that indeed will have to be vacated.

That is not the same as sending every person off on a boat at spear point.

The white terror in not being entitled to stomp wherever you please is pathetic.

Idk who needs to hear this but non-Native people who want to build a communist or socialist state to replace Canada & the US are just as colonialist as their capitalist counterparts.

If the movement doesn’t prioritize returning governance to Indigenous people it’s just colonizing but a little to the left

Land Back because the indigenous people and the land evolved together. The Americas (Turtle Island) was NEVER a “virgin”, unused, underutilized landscape. It has always, ALWAYS been cared for, listened to, learnt from by the people who live there. There were trade routes, homes, battlegrounds, grave yards, there were prescribed land fires that shaped the forests and plains. These are only a couple teeny tiny examples.

Land Back because indigenous knowledge is key to restoring ecosystems. And to help us adapt in better ways to the impending changes as our planet warms. If there is hope for our beautiful planet and every being in it (and there is) then it is with anti colonization, indigenous sovereignty and solidarity. The future is Indigenous....

Alternatives to ‘Sioux’

As you may know, the word ‘Sioux’ is considered to be a slur amongst members of the Oceti Sakowin. It is not our word for ourselves, but rather a name given to us by another nation and perpetuated by the Europeans / Euro-Americans.

You also may have noticed that our official tribe names often contain the word ‘Sioux’ (‘Oglala Lakota Sioux Tribe’ for example.) The reason for this is entirely legal. When our treaties were drafted, they were written as an agreement between the US Government and the ‘Sioux Nation.’ For this reason, we cannot fully abandon the name. However, when we’ve had opportunities, we’ve dropped the name in places we can (’Oglala Lakota County,’ for example, a name chosen by the rezidents.)

Simply put, members of the Oceti Sakowin generally don’t refer to themselves as ‘Sioux’ and, if we can’t change it legally, at least we can continue to assert our identity on our terms. So, if you choose to respect that, here’s a quick Oceti Sakowin education guide:

Oceti Sakowin (Seven Council Fires) 

Oceti Sakowin (encompasses all language dialects) is the simplest and broadest replacement for ‘Sioux.’ You can use this term if you aren’t aware of the specific language group to which ‘Sioux’ refers. Within the Oceti Sakowin are three main groups, which are further divided into seven subgroups:

Isanti Oyate (Santee — Dakota Dialect)

Ble Wakantunwan (Mdewakanton*) - Spirit Lake

Wahpetunwan (Wahpeton) - Leaf Village

Wahpe Kute Tunwan (Wahpekute) - Leaf Archers

Sinsin Tunwan (Sisseton) - Swamp Village

Wiciyela Oyate (Yankton/Yanktonais — Dakota Dialect ; commonly mislabeled as Nakota* Dialect)

Ihanktunwan - End of Horn Village

Ihanktunwanna - Little End of Horn Village

Tinte Oyate (Tetons — Lakota Dialect)

Tinte Ta Tunwan (Tintatunwan Oceti Sakowin) - Plains Nation

Within the Tinte Ta Tunwan / Tintatunwan Oceti Sakown (#7), there are another seven subdivisions:

Tintatunwan Oceti Sakowin - Lakota

Oglala - Scatters Their Own (Pine Ridge Indian Reservation)

Sicangu - Burnt Thighs (Rosebud Reservation, Lower Brule Reservation)

Hwohwoju (Mnikiwoju/Mniconjou) - Swamp Plant  (Cheyenne River Reservation)

Itazipcola (Itazipco) - No Bow  (Cheyenne River Reservation)

Owohe Nunpa (Oohenunpa) - Two Paunch Boiler (Cheyenne River Reservation)

Sihasapa - Black Feet (Cheyenne River Reservation, Standing Rock Reservation)

Hunkpapa - End of Horn (Standing Rock Reservation)

*modern terminology *In the past, the term Nakota has been applied to the Yankton, but this is a mistake. The Yankton speak Dakota. Nakota speakers are Assiniboine / Hohe and Stoney, who broke off from the Yankton at a time so long ago their language is now nearly unrecognizable to Lakota and Dakota speakers.

I read online that gender makes really good compost for planting seeds, so I tried that. It doesn't, by the way.
