If this kills any chance of me being in a Taylor Sheridan production – I’d consider that a worthwhile response. Lol. Rich white dudes who love being white saviors ain’t my thing. Original post by @illuminative – & in collaboration w/ @janaunplgd Let’s set the record straight. Taylor Sheridan, the creator of ‘Yellowstone’, and his film Wind River were NOT responsible for the passage of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) and its protections for Native women—despite his recent statement in The @HollywoodReporter. Sheridan’s claim is not only false, it’s harmful. This is yet another attempt to erase Native peoples from our own stories and ignores the decades of intense organizing and profound impact Native women, survivors, advocates, Tribal leaders and many more across Indian Country had in the passage of this law. Instead, the film he gives so much credit to centers a white savior narrative, reduces the Native women characters featured to one-dimensional subjects, largely depicted only in scenes of brutal physical and sexual violence, and perpetuates the false notion that the homicides of Native women are investigated by authorities—all of which compound the MMIP crisis. And this misrepresentation of Native peoples and issues is prevalent throughout Sheridan’s work as he fails to hire Indigenous writers or staff in any significant, decision-making roles on any productions that feature Native storylines rooted in our history and deep trauma. Taylor Sheridan, you have an opportunity to change and use your influence for good. We encourage you to sit down, listen, embrace the truth and humble yourself. Your white savior narrative erases the work of Native women and Indian Country who fight for the safety and well-being of Native women, girls and people. Indian Country will not stand for the false narratives you are promoting. The majority of Native peoples in the country agree— No More Stories About Us Without Us.

Lakota Dubbed version of The Avengers is now available on Disney !!! Watch today! The Dub was accomplished by @lakotalanguagereclamation and Recorded by @greywillowmusic on the Standing Rock Lakota Nation! #LakotaAvengers
39 years ago today, the Philadelphia police department dropped a C-4 bomb (from a helicopter) on a residential home of the MOVE organization- Black families & community organizers – killing 11 people (including 5 children) and destroying over 60 homes in the neighborhood. The city didn’t apologize until 2020 – and even then the UPenn Museum still had the remains of two children in their possession w/o the family’s knowledge. They were keeping them in a shoebox. Again…Police dropped A BOMB from a helicopter on a residential home in Philly as a part of an eviction order. The more you know— #MoveBombing

@mnhs.info seems to be refusing to properly return a noose used to hang one of our Dakota ancestors from 1862. Wičaȟpi Waštedapi was murdered in the largest mass lynching in US history. The rope used for that lynching was taken from his body and eventually given to the Minnesota Historical Society. — The @prairieislandindiancommunity wants it returned, to be dealt with on our own terms. But the institution doesnt seem like it wants to cooperate. Tag them and tell them to repatriate the noose! — FOLLOW @dakotarepatriation

Native characters learning & talking about #Juneteenth and its importance is an amazing thing to witness. Much love to all and may we never forget — none of us are free until all of us are free. shout out to @mollyofdenali. special shoutout to @daazhraii 🙂
We know that in order to achieve a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, the U.S. must stop arming Israel and end the ceaseless death of Palestinian civilians. That’s why we are calling for an immediate embargo on US arms to Israel. Join this effort in calling on Biden and Harris to do the right thing and stop arming Israel’s ongoing genocide and occupation in Palestine. Sign the petition now to demand not another bomb! ucmvmt.us/petition And then register to join the next #NotAnotherBomb Action Call on Wednesdays at 6PM ET to join the fight to win an arms embargo now! ucmvmt.us/masscall #NotAnotherBomb @uncommittedmvmt
Repost from @workingfamilies • More than 38,000 Palestinians have been killed and nearly all of the 2.3 million people living in Gaza have been displaced. Now, seven major labor unions, representing nearly 6 million workers, have sent a joint letter to President Biden calling on the administration to halt all military aid to Israel and to work toward an “immediate and permanent ceasefire.” This is huge. Working people support a ceasefire.
