( ID: Tumblr user polybius-on-gameboy: “I think America should be taken by Canada instead” No, I think America should be returned to its Indigenous tribes, while Canada should return to the First Nations, the Inuit and the Métis. “I think America should be taken by Denmark instead” No, I think America should be returned to its Indigenous tribes while Denmark returns Greenland to the Kalaallit, the Tunumiit and the Inughuit. “I think Texas should be taken by Mexico” No, I think Texas should be returned to the Apache. “I think Florida should be taken by Cuba” No, I think Florida should be returned to the Seminole. “I think the Blue states should form their own country” No, I think the Blue states should return to the Chinook, the Yakama, the Nimíipuu, the Pomo, the Chumash, the Diné, the Wôbanaki, the Massachuset, the Haudenosaunee, the Pequot, the Lenape tribes, and the Inuit, the Unangax̂ and the Tlingit tribes of Alaska. Stop roleplaying colonialism with a leftist coat of paint and give land back to its fucking Natives. )
Also keep in mind “land back” doesn’t mean people who grew up here should leave.
It just means decolonizing the land and letting the Indigenous govern it.

Innovation in #FoodSystems isn’t neutral.Who defines it, who benefits, and who controls it?
Farmers & #IndigenousPeoples are innovators too.
The future isn’t only in the cloud, it’s rooted in their knowledge and practices.
PM Carney said there should be a public apology for a spying operation targeting hundreds of Indigenous people that had the support of the federal government.
"It’s a reprehensible practice. Never should’ve happened."

The history of Indigenous peoples in the Americas following European arrival is distinguished by immense loss and trauma. The dissemination of diseases like smallpox and measles was particularly destructive to native communities, as these populations had not developed immunity to such foreign pathogens. The swift spread of these diseases resulted in population declines that far exceeded the impact of military engagements. In addition to disease, Indigenous communities endured brutal violence, including massacres and wars, alongside policies enforcing removal from ancestral lands. While the claim regarding the death toll of 100 million Native Americans is disputed and not supported by the majority of historians, the extensive devastation experienced by Indigenous populations is undeniable. Deaths were attributable to direct conflict, displacement, starvation, and other secondary effects. Certain scholars and Indigenous historians posit that the colonizers' actions, including targeted campaigns and exploitative policies, constitute genocide, leaving deep-seated scars on Native nations. The repercussions of colonization went beyond immediate mortality to encompass the dismantling of linguistic, cultural, and governance systems. The forced relocation of families and the establishment of boarding schools aimed at stripping away cultural identity further compounded the trauma, while treaty violations by settler governments impeded Indigenous peoples' capacity to sustain their cultures and communities. Despite these adversities, Native nations are presently working towards cultural rejuvenation and legal safeguards, endeavoring to reclaim ancestral lands, protect sovereignty, and revitalize languages and traditions. Through historical acknowledgment and ongoing activism, Indigenous peoples continue to advocate for their rights, identity, and a future honoring their heritage. #nativeamerican
