gathering of nations was a surreal experience. I don't think I've been around so many other natives in my life, and that includes northern and aboriginal natives! it is an unforgettable experience. also knowing I was in the same room as northern cree and young spirit makes me fangirl embarrassingly.

“….It is not fit that such great warriers should fight anymore, but that they should remain like women who were not warriers…. treaty is held sacred all this time and they say it will until the party that put the coat onto them shall take it off, or break the treaty.” - Thayendanegea to Holmes 1801 regarding the Haudenosaunee-Lenape Peace of 1669.

This is just a quick little drawing of “Sara”/Min-asin-ink/ Munsee Lenape & her sister Wënami/ Unami Lenape around the time of this peace treaty.

Indigenous histories is something I’m trying to understand more as its own separate history of US & Canadian canon. And as my main focus has always been New York City, and given that “Sara” is Lynn/NYC’s biological mother, I was curious as to what happens to her following the theft of her lands with the founding of New Netherlands. Lynn is also a lot like her mother. Sara is a bit of busy body, a bit nosy, but very charming and she has a way with words- historically allows her to make good deals and treaties what have you. Lynn is also like this except Lynn is probably the poster child of girlboss capitalism 😔 Lynn is like monopoly woman. Also “Sara”’s sister Wënami is Luke/Philadelphia’s mom.

The tl:dr on Lynn’s relationship to her mother is: it’s rocky. I think they both love each other. But Lynn has spent much of her time as a settler personification and has adopted very different values than her mother’s values. So sometimes they, but more so Lynn, get on each other’s bad side. Also both are quite stubborn

I plan on expanding further and making proper designs and lore for other nations, but my main focus is settler-colonial history. I want to eventually discuss the events of Tecumseh’s War against the United States because it’s a pivotal moment in settler and indigenous histories but we never fully discuss the Indigenous sides of it. So I’m trying to learn more about each nation outside of their relationship to settler-colonial powers hence why I also focused on the great peace of 1669.

Info dump below the cut

Also I want to quickly note that the Lenape were made of several different groups prior to colonization, and could be broken culturally into Munsee and Unami, but this changes with colonization. I assume “Sara” & her sister are the youngest the Lenape personifications given that they represent the broader groups.

Historically, it was like highkey the Haudenosaunee Confederacy versus everyone and their mother. But in 1669 the Lenape along with the Mohicans brokered a peace deal with the Haudenosaunee. This treaty in effect by calling the lenape women gave them a nation status of being peace makers and also gave them neutrality within international conflict.

This status explains a lot about how “Sara” and her sister were able to survive but also why they later align themselves with the Haudenosaunee, or the Cherokee or why they were involved in Tecumseh’s war.

on our way to albuquerque, we were able to tour the beautiful sky city in the mesa! acoma natives have lived in the mesa for over 2000 years. I'm still so amazed by that.

after not seeing much of each other (or the best of each other) in the 50s-60s, I'd like to think that alfred and ivan enjoy exploring musical media of that era together in modern day. for example, alfred loves to show ivan how to dance the twist and ivan will share his x-ray record collection of contraband music with him.

ivan won't let him know that he's been to a maya kristalinskaya concert or two and he's already learned the dance. alfred won't let him know that he owns multiple muslim magomayev lps and once snuck past the iron curtain to hear vladimir troshin live.

#kikitalkz #I recently watched tmfu again and that drunk dance scene is so rusame coded!!! #srsly tho russian music of the 50s-60s is so dynamic and fun #maya kristalinskaya and quartet accord are my favorite voices of the era #and they sang songs that could be classified as doowop and twist!!! #them not tryna kill each other for once and just dance freakin makes me go crazy #rusame

if cidershark ever decided to return to the rusame scene, it will be like the undertaker returning to wwe

God I am sick and tired of people uwu-washing indigenous American history.

Did the Inca have exquisite building techniques, efficient messengers, and quality waterworks? Yes. They were also an expansionist empire built on violent conquest and the splitting up and relocating of conquered peoples.

Did the Aztecs have a gorgeous capital city built at the heart of a lake, with floating farms and towering temples honoring their fascinating pantheon? Yes. Guess what tho. They were also a violent expansionist empire who practiced ritual sacrifice of prisoners of war.

The Iroquois confederacy had one of the most unique representative political systems I’ve ever heard of, with women taking a forefront in most local government matters too. But their internal peace allowed them to redirect violence to their neighbors, as so often happens with tribal confederations, and they eventually violently conquered the Ohio valley and destroyed or displaced dozens of other indigenous groups.

Even my beloved Cahokia has the graves of sacrifice victims amidst its ruins.

A society should not need to be (and fundamentally cannot be) squeaky clean unproblematically stannable in order to be worth studying and remembering, and pretending that they were is no less disinformative than the European accounts painting them as godless savages.

if I had a nickel for every time I've used the grand canyon as a setting for rusame antics, I'd have two nickels- which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice

I have no idea how someone could be as ignorant as you are being right now. You have a myriad of resources to find that anti-Muslim sentiment is why this genocide is permiating, and yet you choose to live in your hateful ignorance. It is pointless to argue and thoroughly explain to you the suffering of people when you seldom see them as people, so I am truly wasting no more energy on you.

If you want to talk about anti-gay sentiments in religion, I can tell you right now that damn near every religion revolving around Jesus of Nazareth is conservative at heart. As for anti-gay murders-- every single one of those deaths are done by terrorist groups NOT affiliated with Palestine or any major Muslim denomination!

And I am sorry-- are you, as someone from Russia, telling me how brutal other people's cultures are to gay people? Your government is majorly Orthodox Christian. Under that same religion, they have committed various crimes of gay purging in Chechnya where thousands of people have been brutally tortured and killed, all for the sake of God and sanctity! Will you condemn Christians for this? Will you condemn Christianity for the rise of nationalism and fascism?

Вы не человек веры, вы просто человек, охваченный чувством вины, который использует прекрасную веру, чтобы замаскировать свою уродливую, пагубную ненависть, и поверьте мне, это приведет к вашей собственной гибели.

Children are being killed by Isr*el but ok. There's video evidence everywhere but ok.

Also Palestinian jews exist too, and actual H*locaust survivors are protesting what Isr*el is doing to the Palestinians.

Didn't know saying "Killing innocent civilians, especially children, is horrible and there should be permanent ceasefire" was so controversial but ok.

The Muslim majority that exiled Judaism existed around the 8th to 13th century where there was a fight for control between Muslim and Christian majorities far outside Palestine. Please tell me what relevance this has for a genocide occurring in 2024? As for the claims that all Arabs helped Nazism is absolutely wrong and heinous. Yes, Nazi Germany purposefully attempted to appeal to all Muslims by saying they would retaliate against Britain. However, only Pro-Nazi Arabs exiled to Germany themselves conceded.

Once again, of what relevance is this to Muslims alive TODAY, who have no connection to Arabic nationalism and Nazi Germany? I will not put words in your mouth but it's like you're implying that the Muslim religion is brutal in itself. Palestinian Muslims welcomed Jewish people after WWII because they understood the Jewish plight, as Palestine is not ONLY Muslim, it is also Jewish and Christian.

I want to make it clear that my defense of Palestine is not and should NOT be seen as hatred against Judaism. I am not here to call to doubt true acts of anti-Semitism. You also need to understand that Zionism; the 20th-century definition of it, is at the core of the founding of Israel.

The fact about living in Gaza is that it is cruel and brutal. It is an apartheid state. Palestinians in Gaza cannot travel within cities that were once Palestine anymore. Palestinians cannot get citizenship in Israel. Palestinians cannot own their own production means. Palestinians cannot own Israeli settler land nor can they live in it. Palestinians do not have due process when arrested. Palestinians cannot marry Israelis. Palestinians are under 24/7 military watch and operate under a curfew. I could also mention dozens of instances of anti-Muslim hate crimes both done in the US, in Russia, and in Israel, that often never get media attention, but quite frankly this is getting too long.

Once again, and please read this well: the oppressed are capable of becoming the oppressor. Yes, that means me and that means you.

"I’m personally a Holocaust survivor as an infant, I barely survived.

My grandparents were killed in Aushwitz and most of my extended family were killed.

I became a Zionist; this dream of the Jewish people resurrected in their historical homeland and the barbed wire of Aushwitz being replaced by the boundaries of a Jewish state with a powerful army…and then I found out that it wasn’t exactly like that, that in order to make this Jewish dream a reality we had to visit a nightmare on the local population.

There’s no way you could have ever created a Jewish state without oppressing and expelling the local population. Jewish Israeli historians have shown without a doubt that the expulsion of Palestinians was persistent, pervasive, cruel, murderous and with deliberate intent - that’s what’s called the 'Nakba' in Arabic; the 'disaster' or the 'catastrophe'.

There’s a law that you cannot deny the Holocaust, but in Israel you’re not allowed to mention the Nakba, even though it’s at the very basis of the foundation of Israel.

I visited the Occupied Territories (West Bank) during the first intifada. I cried every day for two weeks at what I saw; the brutality of the occupation, the petty harassment, the murderousness of it, the cutting down of Palestinian olive groves, the denial of water rights, the humiliations...and this went on, and now it’s much worse than it was then. It’s the longest ethnic cleansing operation in the 20th and 21st century.

I could land in Tel Aviv tomorrow and demand citizenship but my Palestinian friend in Vancouver, who was born in Jerusalem, can’t even visit! So then you have these miserable people packed into this, horrible…people call it an 'outdoor prison', which is what it is. You don’t have to support Hamas policies to stand up for Palestinian rights, that’s a complete falsity.

You think the worse thing you can say about Hamas, multiply it by a thousand times, and it still will not meet the Israeli repression and killing and dispossession of Palestinians.

And 'anybody who criticises Israel is an anti-Semite' is simply an egregious attempt to intimidate good non-Jews who are willing to stand up for what is true."
