Brothers don’t necessarily have to say anything to each other- they can sit in a room and be together and just be completely comfortable with each other. -Leonardo DiCaprio

Frequently I encounter non Native folks who tell me they think reservations are some form of reparatoins to Natives from the US government. I even had someone close to me tell me they thought reservations were places to “reserve” our cultures.

Where I’m from (South Dakota) reservations were concentration camps where they sent us to die after they stole and colonized all of the land every US citizen occupies. In the early SD Rez days our ppl had to get permission from district agents (white settler men) to get food, fix our homes, or even leave our community to travel to another community on our Rez to visit relatives. We couldn’t hunt cuz they killed millions of our buffalo. If we didn’t get permission from the white settler agent we couldn’t eat, fix our homes or visit relatives because we would be violating US law & could be arrested. Also our cultures & ceremonies were illegal under US law until the Indian Religious Freedom Act in 1978.

So plz educate the ppl you love and care abt because everyone in the USA is living in an illegal settler colony, Indigenous ppl survived their genocide & we’re her to say these settlers never gave af abt us & never will.

Sometimes when people don’t understand something, they think it’s to be feared or hated. That’s wrong, but it takes a long time to learn differently.

Middle years Chester becoming a sleuth who specializes in looking after widows, children, and families down in their luck is one of my favorite things.

He becomes an advocate for the impoverished, something he reports he didn't have in his youth. Chester's justice is rarely about punishment, always about making right by the victims and the people left behind. It's a unique take, his restorative justice, whereas Matt certainly defers more to punitive thought.
