History doesn’t exist to comfort us — it exists to teach us. Some moments from the past are painful, some are uncomfortable, but all of them matter. When we acknowledge history honestly, we honor the voices that were silenced and ensure their stories are not forgotten. Learning from history isn’t about blame or erasure — it’s about awareness, empathy, and growth. Only by remembering can we avoid repeating the same mistakes and build a more just future. 📖 Remember. Learn. Do better. #indigenous #nativeamerican

I Replied to a Question About Native American Reservations being trashy ... Here's a longer reply.

Is it regional? Generational? Maybe. But let’s get something straight: this isn’t just about reservations. I was in the Cherokee Nation just two days ago picking up tags for my vehicle, (Tribal Citizen), that I could have had sent in the mail but I love the area so much I try to go every excuse I can, (about 3.5 hours each way). I was not born there but my grandma and great grandma and more ancestors call me back to the hills in Cherokee County, as if I were. I arrive feeling like I should have never left. Yes, like any place, there are shady corners, trashy spots, and people making hard choices in harder circumstances. Same as any urban ghetto in Tulsa or backwoods badland. Why? Because all people are people. All classes. All cultures. All backgrounds. We are the same. Every single one of us has the capability to take care of ourselves and others — and we also have the free will to not give a rat's ass. That’s not a race thing. That’s a human thing. So stop using poverty or struggle as a way to demean Native communities — or any community. Instead, lift where you stand. See the good, call out the bad, and hold space for both. We rise or fall together, warriors. Wado. #FindingYourTribe #NativeAmericanCulture #NativeAmerican ##IndigenousVoices #IndigenousCulture

🖤 “They were not at war. They were at home.” In 1860, as the sun rose over Nevada’s Hot Creek, a Paiute community began its day like any other — families together, children close to their mothers, elders watching over their people. They never saw it coming. Settlers attacked the camp without warning. No battlefield. No mercy. Men, women, children — entire families — were erased in moments, simply for existing on their own land. This wasn’t a clash. This was a massacre. The Hot Creek Massacre is one of countless Indigenous tragedies pushed into silence — rarely taught, barely remembered, yet carried in the blood and memory of Native peoples to this day. History didn’t forget them by accident. They were made to be forgotten. Remember their names. Remember their pain. Because remembering is the first step toward justice. 🕯️ Never again should a people be erased — from land, from life, or from memory. #nativeamerican #Hidde #FacebookFeed

This message is about history, truth, and respect. Indigenous Nations existed long before colonization, with their own cultures, governance, and ways of life. What happened among them was never a justification for invasion, land theft, or the destruction of entire communities. Acknowledging history is not about blame—it is about understanding, learning, and honoring the resilience of Indigenous peoples. Respect for Indigenous sovereignty, culture, and human rights remains essential today. We move forward by listening, educating ourselves, and choosing empathy over ignorance. 🌎✨ #IndigenousRights #indigenous #nativeamerican

📢 Why This Matters For Indigenous communities like the Oglala Lakota Nation, their homelands are not just pieces of land. They are symbols of history, ancestors, and future generations. Protecting these lands is about preserving culture and identity. This message isn’t about violence or confrontation. It’s about: Unity Awareness Peaceful protection of rights When communities stand together: Their voices become stronger. It becomes harder to ignore their rights. It opens a path for peaceful dialogue and understanding. 👉 This post encourages people to think, understand, and show support—not to spread hate or incite any conflict. Support can be as simple as listening, sharing, and standing in solidarity. 🤝 Unity. Respect. Awareness. #Lakota #nativeamerican
