Mary Greyeyes: Trailblazer for Indigenous WomenIn 1942, Mary Greyeyes became the first Indigenous woman to enlist in the Canadian Army. A Cree woman from Saskatchewan, she faced racism yet served proudly overseas. Her iconic enlistment photo broke barriers and inspired generations of Indigenous Canadians. #Canada #Indigenous #WWII #MaryGreyeyeshttps://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/mary-greyeyes

@audubonballroon DO NOT PESTER THEM. Go find what they are saying and writing already. Don't bully them to teach or perform for you.

@NewsDesk @cbcnews We need to stand together or Trump like Putin will gorge himself on the weak

@drewtowler I have to my knowledge not heard her music or at least wouldn't recognize it as her music if heard it somewhere, outside of my genre preferences. I just started this to point out revisionist false history being promoted by the dummies at WaPo, not a wholesale endorsement of Eilish. I appreciate her anti-ICE stance and that's all I know. I'm sure 99.9% of the people in my social media circles find the anti-migrant policies of the US to be very problematic.

What are pretendians and descendians? Laakkuluk Williamson writes for The Walrus about people who falsely claim Indigenous heritage, and how this contrasts with the lived experiences of Indigenous people.https://flip.it/FyItVs#Culture #Canada #Pretendians #Indigenous

3/Even within #Indigenous people, in North & South America alone there are thousands of Indigenous cultures all with their own histories & practices. There are no super-Indigenous people.For example I have pretty strong opinions on #Native culture particularly #Mvskoke & nearby similar tribes but even though I have a smidgen of Mexican Indigenous in me, a lot of what I know doesn't necessarily apply to Indigenous people in Mexico, Central/South America. I have learned to defer to them.

“We started performing not just for local audiences, but for people traveling from Japan, China, Australia, New Zealand – from all over the world,” Brown said. “It’s important that we tell our own stories from our own voices, because so often people tell stories about Indigenous people that aren’t always true.”Alberta Native News: Warrior Women bring Cree Culture to the International Indigenous Tourism Conference in Edmonton https://www.albertanativenews.com/warrior-women-bring-cree-culture-to-the-international-indigenous-tourism-conference-in-edmonton/#yeg #Indigenous #IndigenousTourism

I’m one ally with a tiny voice.TurtleIsland.social, an Indigenous‑run server, has a bigger one, yet it’s invisible on Join Mastodon. It meets the covenant and supports safe Indigenous spaces. Help amplify this so it can be found. Boosts appreciated!@Yehuda @joinmastodon @Mastodon @Gargron @fediverse#Fediverse #Indigenous #InclusiveTech

@Yehuda hmmm you're giving me an ideamaybe we can get some people to work on editing the wikipedia page with some of these critiques? not sure that will change anything at the top but the fact that there is nothing at all on the whole page reflecting the racism problems makes me think there's an opening, and i bet they do care about how they're portrayed therehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mastodon_(social_network)

Wow! As a fan of clay, comics and graphic novel illustration, I find this work very exciting. Garcia celebrates the leaders of the Pueblo Revolt by turning them into comic book style superheroes.

Beautiful performance by Sámi musician Kajsa Balto singing both a modern and traditional joik song."Joik is the traditional Sámi vocal expression. If you get your own joik, it's an honor. It's like receiving a gift from someone who knows you well and loves you. Your joik is your own melody. It becomes like a second name almost. It follows you through life and even after."#Indigenous #Music https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUaeOh-5u9E

Please boost!https://TurtleIsland.social is a small instance. What are we supposed to do, apologize for being survivors of history's largest genocide?No, this is on the dominant culture to fix. The dominant culture is the gatekeeper and needs to fix this for ALL non-white cultures.It's time to make Mastodon friendly to non-white cultures and we need to start at the top.#Native #Indigenous #BIPOC #Mastodon #Racism>>---> https://www.patreon.com/posts/148563046
