Wait til you find out about the guy that wrote the Wizard of Oz. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/L._Fran...

I was honored to participate in a panel on the impact of recent changes within the federal government on Indian tribes today at the Governor’s Tribal Nation Summit! What an informative day.

Returning Home: Bay Area Indigenous tribes fight for return of ancestors For decades, thousands of Native American ancestral remains have been stored away in museums and academic institutions across California, despite a federal law requiring their return to descendants.

There’s a link to a roughly 11 minute exposΓ© on the failure of the UC system to repatriate to culturally affiliated tribes in this article.

Navajo Code Talkers get "DEI" label as military info disappears under Trump order Also vanishing: The Civil War regiment from "Glory," women pilots from WWII and a Medal of Honor winner.

Generations of Natives serving as Marines and without a second thought the Marine Corps show their disloyalty
and throw those that saved their lives and called them brother and sister under the bus, letting politicians spit in their faces.

BREAKING: Trump and Republicans say they’ll focus their efforts on defeating Native American candidate Deb Haaland, who is running for governor of New Mexico.

She has protected sacred lands and stood up to bullies. It’s obvious why they want her to lose.

There’s no minerals to mine at Sattitla. It’s a giant shield volcano in the ring of fire. This is simply a matter of him seeking to undo anything Biden did.

A blue Tesla Model 3 has been crushed by an Olmec statue. A man with long black braids leans against the hood of the car with his arms crossed, staring down the camera.

Trump Tries to Use White South Africans as Cautionary Tale The president and his allies accuse South Africa of discriminating against and killing white people, and warn that it could happen in America if attempts to promote diversity aren’t stopped.

This really is the story. Explains so much.

Why don’t we get a group of smart people together to write Project 2029 and get to work? We need a plan for what happens after this shit show is over. Also a plan to get it over with. Let’s get going on the future and stop just watching.

They are literally stealing from the pockets of others to hand it to the tech and oil oligarchs. We all need to stop buying from them. I’m changing how I shop and watch where my money goes.

How does all this β€œcost cutting” help the American people? Lost jobs, lost educational opportunities and restrictions on services seem counter productive to making America great.

Is this all really just to give more to the wealthy and corporations?

As much as I loved the convenience of shopping at Target and Amazon, I now recognize that I was participating in the ruin of small businesses when I did it. I’m doing a serious evaluation of all my spending and changing the flow of my money to businesses that are either local or support my values.
