Where Every Scroll is a New Adventure
A look at some Indigenous characters in comics and animation.
Yes, I get the desire to beat the US's rising claim to fascism and republican values, but that doesn't mean we need to base our entire image off of them. Our display of leftism and being 'progressive' is so insanely performative it makes me sick. How many times have you seen our government "apologizing", and "acknowledging" instead of actually doing shit to help the people Canada has literally killed. Yet, here we sit, content with "sticking it to american's" while thousands of indigenous women die, tortured, raped, are sex trafficked, etc. Please for the love of god, TALK about these things with your community - teachers, friends, students, neighbours, family, even online like I'm doing right now. - just start with spreading the news, which can lead to organizing, protesting, riots, getting our government to actually DO SOMETHING. If we want to fix our problems we have to first acknowledge them.
at a tribal finance conference listening to a quileute tribal council member talk about how companies have bought every house in forks, wa because it’s a tourist destination so they can’t hire people to work for the tribe
anyway fuck stephenie meyer for profiting so intensely off of racist stereotypes of quilteutes and all native people while never contributing a dime to help them solve the problems she caused!
