These are Original / Native American lands and islands. Not Africa, Europe, or Asia.

Colonization promotes a farce across societies.

[decolonization000]

Colonization is a mental burden.

Memorization over learning naturally through experience.

Pressure is on every single moment to perform.

Constantly being tested. And monitored.

Meanwhile an overweight guy with an inflated head keeps calling his guy to talk about some adjustment to the profit we’re all making for them.

It’s a systematic trap but it’s called progress.

We’re all making the best of it.

The American Dream

[decolonization000]

I wish a native at least once painted what actually went down when settlers washed onto shore. Everything we know it from their perspective and they always glorify themselves and promote a Disney Pocahontas harmony instead of the reality of their abuse, manipulation, genocide, and bloodshed.

I’m sick after reading this.

From Thanksgiving to the present day, even Americans are still operating in bad faith and skirting legalities to ge their way, in this case through museums failing to uphold the terms of the Native American Graves and Repatriation Act. They want to keep their murder weapon, the noose they used to end the life of a Dakota warrior.

Call out the MNHS if you can.

“American” energy. The Founding Mother.

Literally our only photography and portraits of our people, the Olmecs. This is a female figure from mesomerica. This one is at the famous Metropolitan Museum of Art (“The Met”) in NYC.

And imagine how many artifacts like this are sitting in peoples houses or in storage or being priced exhorbitantly for auction. All kinds of these types of artifacts were stolen from the original people of the Americas and they haven’t been returned since. 500+ years of trading. Making money off of objects that’s real worth is spiritual, more than anything money can buy.

I’ve seen in Ecuador this guy who isn’t indigenous but owns land that he inherited from his father who is clearly European descent—have a display case of Zemis and stones that represent native sources of connection to the supreme, cultural pride, and memory. Just sitting there. Disheveled. So disrespectful. To the people who they took it from.

What a greedy selfish bunch of crap these colonizers, their descendants, and those who join in on that game are. It’s like they’re a bunch of ungrateful children who want all the toys in the world for that Christmas season but then break them, mistreat them, and ignore the gifts they received. Only asking more more more more in unquenchable mindlessness and taking the toys of their friends and siblings just because they want everything for just themselves.

Maybe even these artifacts are held hostage as a trophy that screams conquest and superiority. As a way to keep thinking that native peoples are less than and deserving of oppression.

We’ve always been able to take care of our things, despite what the rumor is about native peoples. Please return our stuff back. Free of charge. It’s the least you cosmopolitan savages can do

Oil and chemical corporations continue the malpractice of dumping poisonous waste strategically within historically indigenous protected zones in the Amazon. Tons of oil spills are contaminating the water, land, air, and vegetation of the Amazon. In what was a natural landscape free of pollutants and toxins, the people who live there are seeing a rise in cancer. Cancer didn’t exist there prior to the oil spills. It is causation not correlation. The indigenous people are fighting against their own national government that is betraying some of its own people’s lives for money by allowing Chevron-Texaco to carry out its business goals.

Residents of First Nation sickened after high levels benzene detected

The people of Aamjiwnaang First Nation are demanding a chemical plant, which is located right across the street from their reserve, be shut down after being repeatedly exposed to high levels of benzene, a cancer-causing chemical.

Many said the pollution left them feeling ill and anxious about the air they breathe. Carolyn Jarvis reports on how the First Nation is facing a possible environmental emergency.

#Curiosities

The Sacred City of Caral-Supe, one of the most important and little-known cultures of the American continent, is located in the province of Barranca, Lima Region, Peru.

“It constitutes the oldest manifestation of civilization in Peru and on the American continent due to its 5,000 years of age. It is made up of 32 monumental buildings, included in a complex system of settlements that show a strong religious ideology, among which are distinguished ceremonial buildings, residential sectors for people of different social rank, a set of minor temples and production workshops. Caral led a settlement system that brought together 17 similar, although smaller, sites located in the Supe Valley.

“It expresses the complexity and development of an early socio-political and economic organization model during the Late Archaic Period (5000-3800 BP) originated independently by the Andean societies that inhabited this small fertile valley on the central Peruvian coast.”
