After more than 120 years, the Yurok Tribe is finally bringing their land home 🌲❤️ Nearly 47,000 acres along the Klamath River—land taken from their ancestors—now belongs back where it always should have been. For generations, this land was damaged by heavy logging. But to the Yurok people, it was never just land. It is history, culture, spirit, and home. Now, the tribe is healing it the way their ancestors once did—using traditional knowledge to restore forests and protect the salmon that have sustained their people for thousands of years 🐟. Backed by a $56 million investment, this isn’t just a land return—it’s a promise to the future. A reminder that justice can take time, but it matters. A reminder that Indigenous wisdom protects the Earth. A reminder that home is something worth fighting for. This is more than a win for the Yurok Tribe. It’s a win for the land, the river, and generations yet to come 🌎✨ #nativepride #california #yourktribe #facebookrepost

“…. if I am hungry, no one is safe.” In 1862, as the Dakota people were starving during a man-made famine, trader Andrew Myrick mocked their suffering. He told them to “eat grass—or their own dung.” 🌾 It was a moment that exposed the cruelty of power and the depth of injustice faced by the Dakota Nation. When the Dakota War began, Myrick was among the first to die. His body was later found with grass stuffed into his mouth—a grim, symbolic answer to his own words. This is not a tale of revenge glorified, but a stark reminder: when human dignity is stripped away and hunger is used as a weapon, history answers with consequences. Remembering these truths honors those who endured, resisted, and survived. 🪶 #NativeAmericanHistory #DakotaWar1862 #IndigenousTruth #RememberThePast #VoicesUnforgotten #facebookrepost
