Cherokee chief won’t be allowed to speak on Oklahoma House floor again, chamber leader says • Oklahoma Voice The head of the Cherokee Nation will not be invited back to speak on the House floor after he took a “political position” defending Medicaid expansion, the House speaker said Thursday.

I'm sorry, the State House isn't the correct forum to discuss a POLITICAL ISSUE???

Fuck these people. Proud of my chief for advocating for expanded healthcare coverage for Oklahomans.

Western civilization really is just about giving one specific type of man power, & then giving him the means to just destroy everything.

Maybe this is... you know... a bad system.

Closeup of a trillium; I think it's Trillium cuneatum (little sweet betsy). Three mint-green leaves are mottled with dark spots. Surrounding it are forest floor detritus such as sticks and pinestraw. A wild strawberry plant is emerging below it. Please forgive the stray bit of vinca - I removed it right after I took the photo.

Closeup of a tiny trillium being held in my hand. I think it is a Trillium grandiflorum, but I won't be sure until it blooms. Underneath the plant and my hand is forest floor detritus - dead leaves, twigs, pinestraw.

An emerging twinflower plant, with five flower-bud stems; each stem has a tiny set of leaves emerging around it. The whole plant is reddish-purple - no green yet. Underneath it is forest floor detritus.

A closeup of an emerging wild ginger plant. Looking like a tiny green cup, it holds a three-petaled maroon flower that's trying to burst its way out of the cupped leaves. Two more wild ginger plants, even younger, are in the upper right of the frame. Forest floor detritus surrounds them, mostly pinestraw.

More spring ephemerals are up! Trilliums, twinleaf, and wild ginger have emerged, and the ginger is in bloom. #nativeplants 🌱

Serious Reservations | Kristen Martin The Trump administration’s erasure of Indigenous history serves a larger project—yet another plunder of land.

“When Americans do not have to confront the ways that our government attempted to exterminate Native peoples and their cultures, we are more liable to view westward expansion as our historic destiny.”

Cherokee people experience real harm when the overwhelming majority of people who insist their unsupported claims are genuine have no actual relationship to Cherokees, no familiarity with or understanding of histories, cultures, languages, struggles or hard-fought rights;

Legitimate Cherokee relations aren’t particularly obscure or difficult to trace…we’re one of the best-documented peoples in the world, with an extensive and detailed documentary archive, as well as community genealogists and researchers who can assess relations with high reliability. #indigisky
