With the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA), which has kept Native children from being purposefully removed from Native families into non-Native foster families since 1978, being reevaluated in the US Supreme Court, it is at risk of being greatly weakened and undoing decades of work to stop the systematic erasure of Native cultural identity.

(It may also re-designate the term "Indian" in the bill to mean a racial classification rather than political, reversing precedent with regard to tribal sovereignty. Native tribes must remain independent entities in the law rather than just a race to protect their rights to self-governance.)

The Lakota People's Law Project is asking US citizens to ask their state lawmakers to enact similar legislation at the state level which codifies the rights and protections ICWA gives to Native children should it be weakened in the Supreme Court. This is not protection for the ICWA itself, although they do have action you can take for that on their website as well. In the link is a pre-written email which you can personalize and easily send to your state lawmakers.

Thanks for your time. :)

SAVE THE DATE: 2024 National Day of Mourning

Thursday, November 28 - 12:00 noon to 3:00 p.m.

Cole's Hill, Plymouth, Mass.

Hosted by United American Indians of New England 

WHAT IS NATIONAL DAY OF MOURNING?

An annual tradition since 1970, National Day of Mourning is a solemn, spiritual and highly political day. Many of us fast from sundown the day before through the afternoon of that day (and have a social after NDOM so that participants in NDOM can break their fasts). We are mourning our ancestors and the genocide of our peoples and the theft of our lands. NDOM is a day when we mourn, but we also feel our strength in action and solidarity.

WHEN AND WHERE IS DAY OF MOURNING?

Thursday, November 28, 2023 (U.S. "thanksgiving" day) at Cole's Hill, Plymouth, Massachusetts, 12 noon SHARP. Cole's Hill is the hill above Plymouth Rock in the Plymouth historic waterfront area. The rallies and marches will last until approximately 3 pm (sometimes later).

WILL THERE BE A MARCH?

Yes, there will be a march through the historic district of Plymouth. Plymouth agreed, as part of the settlement of 10/19/98, that UAINE may march on National Day of Mourning without the need for a permit as long as we give the town advance notice.

PROGRAM:

Although we very much welcome our non-Native supporters to stand with us, it is a day when only Indigenous people speak about our history and the struggles that are taking place throughout the Americas. Speakers are by invitation only. This year's NDOM will be livestreamed from Plymouth.

So I was perusing about Reddit, as I do cause I'm normally chillin' in trans and lesbian subreddits just vibing, and I see a post in r/Liberalgunowners talking about Kamala Harris's gun policy. Now, for whatever reason, in the last month, this subreddit has become pretty conservative. Now I went to make a rebuttal against someone saying they wouldn't vote at all cause Kamala isn't a good candidate for gun rights. Now, being a transfemme with a lot riding on this election, I point out this fact and how we can't pidgeon hole ourselves into single issues and how now is the time of putting the good of all Americans first before petty issues. He responds, saying how he's 55 years old and doesn't really care anymore cause he only jas 20ish years left.

I could not fathom this argument. As I am very open about growing up as an indigenous woman and, for us, the community, doing right for all, and providing for the next 7 generations are our paramount values. So to see someone say "yeah this doesn't affect me, so I'ma just care about this one thing for my personal benefit." honestly disgusted me. I am not one to judge most folks since many folks have their personal convictions for believing things... but really? Is this what colonial culture is? This is what killed my people? People who only care for themselves but not their neighbors and community? How could people be so heartless and greedy?

I know this was an emotional piece, but... I'm just... tired of this. Tired of people who benefit from colonial history trying to say that it's good to perpetuate colonial order. Can we, as Americans of all colors and backgrounds, do right by all, especially if you're older... we look up to you as our elders...

P.s If you're my gf reading this, don't kill me for not going to bed at midnight like I promised. I had to get this off my chest :3

Jesus was not born in Israel. Jesus was born in a little town called Bethlehem where some of the first Christians were indigenous people who lived alongside their Muslim and Jewish neighbors. Jesus grew up in community spaces where olives, lemons, and strawberries grew in groves. Jesus preached and practiced radical on lands where generations of indigenous peoples across colors and cultures stewarded the land and served their communities in the face of empires, crusades, religious imperialism, and the rising tides fascism.

"If Christ were born today, he would be born under the rubble. I invote you to see the image of Jesus in every child killed and pulled from the rubble." ~ Reverend Munther Isaac in Bethlehem (December 2023)

Being Pro-Israel means supporting an Occupying State whose fascist politics and colonial impulses have facilitated the murder of over 20,000 people --- and 8,000 children --- in less than three months .

Beyond prayers and ceasefires, our solidarities must include reciprocity, reclamation, and justice for the indigenous Christian, Muslim, Jewish, queer, unhoused, (dis)abled, and (dis)placed people of Palestine. We must manifest one democratic state that frees people across colors and cultures from zionist-soaked colonialism and ethno-supremacist violence.

Let Gaza free you as heaven, nature, and whole world sing for joy and justice ✨️🌍🌿

“INDIGENOUS FUCKING RAGE”

I refuse to bow

I refuse to be silent

I refuse to listen to your whimpers

If you will sit there and lie

I will so easily watch you die

I do not yield their souls

Which you so gladly stole

You owe us a debt

That I will never forget

HAPPY INDIGENOUS PEOPLES' DAY TO THE RIGHTFUL CUSTODIANS OF TURTLE ISLAND AND THE RIGHTFUL CUSTODIANS OF OCCUPIED PALESTINE! SOLIDARITY WITH THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLES OF THE WORLD!

ADDICTION…

In The Name Of Allah,

Lord Of All The Worlds…

“N.G.E. On Addiction…”

In accord to the way of life (Islam) that I live each and every day, in every way possible, I open this degree of supreme understanding with and in none other than, Peace! Know and understand (In that order...) that addiction is neither a Nation of God(s) or Earth(s) word, nor a creation from the Supreme, rather Devil(!). With that in mind, it MUST be clear that the Doer of Evil (Devil) is the creator of such, and creates such to make he or her vulnerable to the will of Devil. For the devil was put here and allow to be here, for a reason. And as he, as well as her, lives out that reason ( Devil’s, regardless to gender, Do Evil!!!), So MUST(!) we ( The Devil’s maker…) Before I manifest another thought, let’s define the word addiction:

Addiction: The state of being enslaved to a habit, practice or something that is psychological or physical habit forming. Some examples of some common addictions are drugs, alcohol, gambling, food, sex, shopping, etc.… to name a few. Addiction can and has manifest itself in many forms and fashion, for I just named a few, but it stops not there. Which doesn’t necessarily make the addictive’s bad, nor the addict a no-good person. Just be careful/mindful, for until you become a slave to such, and have severe complications ceasing or controlling such, or such is controlling you! That normal thing can, just in matter of moments become an ADDICTION. Which reminds me of a type of people (10%) who strive to control or enslave a people or people. What better way, or a way to implement such than addiction.

Addiction is definitely not true and living created, nor nothing for the true and living to destroy. Addiction can be a confirming factor or verifying point of true and living from the false and dead. Which brings to mind another truth revealing from back in the days (Physical Law…), which revealed, “When you get this knowledge you don’t just change, rather you rapidly change! Or you not one of us.” Hmmmmmmm?

Another truth, long ago revealed that comes to mind is Elijah Muhammads answer to W.D. Fard’s inquiry (98…38. Then, why did God make devil?).

Elijah replied, “To show forth and prove his powers that he is all wise and righteous. That he could make a devil, which is weak and wicked, give him the power to rule the Earth for 6,000 years. Then destroy the devil on one day without falling victim to the devil’s civilization. Otherwise, to show and prove that Allah is God - Always has been and always will be.”

Always keep in mind in order for the rich slave makers/blood-suckers, a.k.a. Devils remain rich is through the keeping the people slaves, by keeping the slaves enslaved, as well blind/illiterate to self. In doing so, they can and would be able to master them, use them as tools, and get richer as well stay rich. Addictions is one of the many ways such is perpetuated, along with endless diabolical attempts. Trust me, the Devil knows there are those who have not and will not be addicts (Which is who they truly will…). He as well her who will either overcome addiction, or just never allow addictions any powers over one(s) self. To the true and living, chosen and few, such is a choice. Which is supported in the knowing and understanding, the mental and physical powers of a Real devil (92… 32. Tell us, the mental and physical powers of a real devil?). In straight forward understanding, regardless to whom or what, they (Devil) are and always will be nothing to compare with the original people. Even with all the evil doings, the devil will be no more than the devil he or she is. The devil knows what I am manifesting is true and real, which is why the subjections and availability of addictive are made so available, plentiful and easily accessible.

Always keep in mind, ever, ever forget, there are always the reason why it’s MIND over matter, and not matter over mind! For when one is ready to put the matter (addictions?) where it belongs, then with your mind you will put the MIND over and not under matter. Look at it like this, for like the devil, addiction is nothing more than a test, also known as STRUGGLE. As an Elder ( Bashir Hameed… ) once enlighten me, “Struggle is nothing more than a test you go through in life, and eventually overcome.“ A test is nothing more than an act or process of determining a means, quality or presence of something or someone. In the case of ALLAH, addiction doesn’t necessary disqualify you for in the physical plane we are still human, and the physical is a reflection of the mental plane, not the mental plane(!). Though, the mental plane is forever present, which is why and how the devil as well as their made projects are essentially expired! We, the true and living, are the chosen and few, which is why the devil and their products are powerless in the World, Allah is forever and always present!

In my conclusion, Addictions in any form or fashion has no (!) claim, say or residences in the true and living life! The devil was made by God, and Devil made addiction s and things of such! So, just like the devil is living on expired time, so is that, and those addictions. Keep in mind, in our lessons (98…38. Then, why did God make devil?) Elijah, made reference to …one day…” in regards to destroying the devil, without falling victim the devil’s civilization. Well know the common usage to one day is 24 hours, which is like I said is common. But in my understanding, be it one day, one hour, one year, etc.… etc.… at one point/some point its bye-bye addiction… Bye-bye creator of addiction (Devil!). Which is contingent and made possible upon that decision. One’s decision to no more, just as one’s decision to more, more and more. So much in life is, and would not be, because we haven’t decided, or decided. Despite what others may have said, think or feel, it is as easy as that. Addiction today, application today. Addiction no tomorrow.

*Note: Like PRISON, Addiction is a decision, Not a LIFE Sentence… (Unless, you want it to be?)
