#NativeTwitter hit the ❤ button if you have ever spoken up on Indigenous issues and had your identity as a Native person erased and ignored by Non-Native folx who instead deem you a "Liberal", "Democrat" or "SJW" to invalidate you.
I don't know about the rest of you in #NativeTwitter but having my indigeneity ignored to be called a "democrat", "liberal", "SJW", or "snowflake" makes me feel really icky....like "Bitch, I'm Indigenous from Nations older than America...stop trying to make me White.
When I speak up, I am not doing so because of indoctrinated political identity or propaganda. I am doing so cuz that B.S. is harmful and toxic to my people's existence and the policies & actions of gov. entities is harming not just my people but other folx residing on these lands
I don't give two shits about political affiliations or allegiance to a flag or colonial nation...I care about doing what is right for the people, for our lands, waters and for future generations. I stand for justice, equality and liberation for my people and all people.
